Fruit skirting bags are made to shield individual fruits and clusters from the same dangers as polypropylene spun bonded non-woven crop coverings, which shield whole crops from the elements and pests. These adaptable goods have different uses in horticulture and agriculture. They promote environmentally responsible and sustainable farming methods while providing protection, disease management, and improved fruit quality. Growers and horticulturists need them because of their advantages and adaptability in order to create healthier and more productive crops.
Under IS 16718: 2021, all polypropylene spun bonded non-woven crop cover and fruit skirting bags for horticultural and agricultural applications are now required to be part of the ISI Certification Scheme.
In agricultural and horticultural applications, this standard specifies the specifications and performance criteria for fruit skirting bags and crop cover made of spun-bonded polypropylene non-woven fabric.
Although the standard lists a variety of fruits for fruit skirting bags and a variety of crops and vegetables for the use of crop coverings, it should not be interpreted to mean that the standard exclusively covers the specific fruits, veggies, and crops listed. Depending on the relevant scientific evidence that is now available, the standard may be applied to different crops, vegetables, and fruits.
Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
