The Order supersedes the Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy Products (Quality Control) Order, 2025, except in respect of actions taken or omitted before such supersession. The regulation mandates conformity to IS 7902:2001 – Aluminium Alloy Forging Stock and Forgings (Alloy 24345) for Aerospace Applications.
Enforcement Timeline
As specified in the implementation schedule of S.O. 1319(E) dated 11 March 2026, mandatory compliance applies with immediate effect for general enterprises, small enterprises, and micro enterprises for products covered under IS 7902:2001.
Overview
The regulatory framework mandates that aluminium alloy forging stock and forgings used in aerospace applications comply with strict technical and quality requirements. IS 7902:2001 defines critical parameters such as chemical composition, mechanical properties, forging quality, dimensional tolerances, and performance under high-stress and high-temperature conditions. The objective is to ensure reliability and safety in aerospace and defence applications where material failure can have significant consequences.
Objective & Scope
The primary objective is to ensure that corrugated aluminium sheets used in roofing, cladding, and structural applications meet uniform quality and safety standards. The scope covers manufacture, import, sale, and distribution of corrugated aluminium sheets in India.
