Key IS Standards Reference
A handful of IS codes govern most solar and steel structure design and fabrication.
| Standard | Covers |
|---|---|
| IS 875 (Part 3) | Wind loads |
| IS 1893 | Earthquake-resistant design |
| IS 2062 | Hot-rolled structural steel |
| IS 4759 | Hot-dip zinc coatings on steel |
| ISO 1461 | Hot-dip galvanised coatings |
| ISO 9001 | Quality management systems |
Structures are designed to the load codes, fabricated from IS 2062 steel and galvanised to IS 4759 / ISO 1461.
