How Teshi Group makes and certifies IBR material
Order review
Confirm IBR applicability, design pressure and temperature, material grade, size, rating and the Inspecting Authority named in the order.
IBR-acceptable raw material
Forging bar, billets, plate or pipe bought with mill certificates acceptable under IBR (Well-known Steel Maker or Inspecting Authority-tested material), recorded by heat number.
Manufacture
Forging, heat treatment and machining to ASME B16.5, B16.47, B16.9 or B16.11, with the heat number transferred to every piece.
Inspection and testing
Chemical and mechanical tests, hardness, dimensional inspection and NDT as required, witnessed and verified by the Inspecting Authority.
Stamping and certificate
Each piece is hard-stamped and the IBR certificate of manufacture and test is signed by Teshi Group and countersigned by the Inspecting Authority.
Dispatch
Material ships with the IBR certificate, EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates and the dimensional report, traceable piece by piece.
IBR certificates
| Certificate (IBR 1950 name) | What it certifies | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Form III-A | Certificate of manufacture and test of steam pipes | IBR pipes |
| Form III-B | Certificate of manufacture and test of tubes, signed by the Inspecting Authority or a Well-known Tube Maker | Boiler tubes |
| Form III-C | Certificate of manufacture and test of boiler mountings and fittings — the certificate buyers ask for with IBR flanges, fittings and valves | IBR flanges and fittings |
| Form III-F | Certificate of manufacture and test of castings, by the Inspecting Authority or a Well-known Foundry | Cast valve bodies |
| Form III-G | Certificate of manufacture and test of forgings, by the Inspecting Authority or a Well-known Forge | Forgings |
| Form IV | Steel maker's certificate of manufacture and test (Well-known Steel Maker) | Raw material |
| Form IV-A | Certificate of material tested by the Inspecting Authority where the maker's certificate is not available | Raw material |
The Indian Boiler Regulations, 2026 consolidate these certificates under a renumbered set of forms. Until your boiler inspectorate confirms the form required on a specific job, buyers and inspectors still refer to the 1950 names — Form III-A for pipes and Form III-C for flanges and fittings — and Teshi Group issues the certificate in the form prescribed at the time of supply.
