Contrary to this, the maintenance of acceptable standards of products including automobiles in the Indian market is the responsibility of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Among the various standards established, IS 2414:2005 is specific to pneumatic tyres for cycles and rickshaws which are very much in use in transport systems in urban and rural settings. In light of the demand for high-quality, long-lasting Tyres, this standard provides basic criteria that have to be met and includes performance characteristics, test procedures, and safeguards.
Since bicycles and rickshaws are still in use by the population because it is cheap and fast means to transport commodities, the quality of the tyre will have a great influence on passengers and other cyclists as well as the performance of the rickshaw or bicycle. Compliance with IS 2414:2005 increases consumer confidence and also helps manufacturers sustain their positions in a particularly competitive market. This blog will delve into the various aspects of IS 2414:2005 In this paper, the following areas have been covered, Performance requirements and testing methods for products that are to be exported to India, certification procedure, and BIS certification and its role in achieving high-quality goods. By analyzing these elements, it will be easier for the stakeholders to acknowledge the importance of following standard guidelines in a tyre business.
The Indian Standard IS 2414:2005 is a regulation formulated by BIS for the standards of pneumatic tires in cycles and rickshaws. The purpose of developing this standard was to make sure that such tires possess some level of quality, security, and performance that is considered requisite before they can be used in different environmental conditions.
IS 2414:2005 refers to material properties and constructions, performances, and test methods for cycle and rickshaw tires established. For instance the size of the various components, load bearing capacity, and the durability of those components. The standard implemented seeks to improve the safety of, and prevent faulty, tires which are key parts of automobiles that have an essential role in the transport network and individual mobility in India.
The performance requirements set forth in IS 2414:2005 include several aspects that are crucial for manufacturers, these parameters make sure that the tyres are capable of facing ordinary usage and give safety and comfort to users. Key performance requirements include:
To ensure that interpretations of these performance requirements are valid, there are test methods provided in the standard. These tests are prepared in a manner that they imitate various situations whereby Cycle and Rickshaw Pneumatic Tyres are likely to be used. They include:
To verify compliance with these performance requirements, IS 2414:2005 more specifically, defines different types of tests. These tests are invaluable for verifying that tyres can run in the way required when it is in use, and really, it is out on the road.
The testing methods outlined in IS 2414:2005 are the four types of tyres produced and used by cycle and rickshaw industries, testing methods are constructed to evaluate the quality and performance of cycle and rickshaw tyres effectively. Some of the key testing methods include:
These testing techniques help to make certain that tyre makers provide quality products that will meet people’s expectations.
Testing labs for plastic shoes need to follow certain rules:
These rules are important to make sure the testing process is good and the results are reliable.
Each article of Cycle and Rickshaw Pneumatic Tyres must be marked with the following information:
Also, the packaging must follow BIS rules to ensure safe handling and storage during shipping.
| General Documents | Technical Documents |
|---|---|
| GST Certificate | Raw Material List |
| MSME Or Udyam Certificate (Not applicable for large-scale industries) | Raw Material Test Certificate |
| Manufacturing land details (Lease Deed/ Rent agreement) | Plant Layout (Lab, Office, Raw material area, Finished Goods area) |
| MOA/AOA (If Private Limited) | Machinery List |
| Electricity Bill | Location Layout |
| Authorization Letter | Equipment List |
| QCI Adhaar Card | Process Flow Chart and Description |
| QCI Appointment Letter | NABL approved Calibration |
| QCI Degree Certificate | Product Specific Declaration as per clause no |
| Owner’s Pan Card | |
| Factory License |
The BIS certification process for Cycle and Rickshaw Pneumatic Tyres involves several steps:
Applications are filled including relevant documents that outline the production processes of the manufacturers.
A BIS officer pays a visit to the manufacturing company in order to assess the levels of compliance with set regulations.
The samples from the production batches are analyzed at the BIS-accredited laboratories.
As a result of the evaluation of these facilities and products, BIS grants permission to the manufacturers to use the ISI mark on their products.
To sustain the standards practice, normal assertions are carried out.
This is a process that the manufacturers need to understand so that they can get an efficient certification process.
BIS certification is crucial for several reasons:
This is a process that the manufacturers need to understand so that they can get an efficient certification process.
The government-approved fees for BIS certification of molded solid rubber soles and heels under IS 18297:2023 are as follows:
| Category | Fee (INR) |
|---|---|
| BIS Application Fees | 9,000 |
| BIS Marking Fees | Micro Scale - 14,600 |
| Small Scale - 36,500 | |
| Medium Scale - 48,400 | |
| Large Scale - 73,000 |
NOTE: BIS testing charge fees are subject to changes from time to time depending on the circulating governments’ policies on fee structure.
Thus, it is recommended to visit the official site of BIS or consult with a BIS registration consultant like Professional Utilities.
Conclusion
In summary, IS 2414:2005 has overarching importance for the standard and efficiency of the cycle and rickshaw pneumatic tyres in India. By following this standard, more manufacturers will qualify to meet basic safety and functionality requirements and thereby access a larger market through BIS certification. That is why the particular procedures of testing and certification, marking, and documentation, which are provided by BIS, are so crucial to increasing the level of consumer protection and guaranteeing product quality.
The ever-increasing demand and concern for quality tyre products in tandem with the emergent demands for Eco-friendly solutions to transport problems will make adherence to IS 2414 imperative for manufacturers seeking to dominate this market.
At Professional Utilities, we leverage our industry knowledge and expertise to help businesses navigate complex regulations, minimize risks, and optimize operations for maximum efficiency and profitability.
IS 2414:2005 is an Indian Standard formulated by BIS that provides criteria of material, dimensions, performance characteristics and test methodology for pneumatic tyres used on cycles and rickshaws.
To protect the clients and consumers of their products, BIS certification is important and mandatory in protecting the consumers of their products besides in the protection of their brands and the expansion of their products to other markets within India.
Application forms with manufacturers’ information and products, technical documentation along with quality management documents, test reports from recognized laboratories are required.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
