ISI / BIS Certification for Textile-High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)/ Polypropylene (PP) Woven Sacks for Packaging of 50 kg Cement

Weaved from corresponding polymer tapes, high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) woven sacks are robust packing materials. These bags are well-known in a variety of sectors for their durability, resistance to moisture, and adaptability. They are widely used in the packaging of a wide range of goods, including animal feed, cereals, cement, and fertilizers.  

Secure confinement during storage and transportation is ensured by the weight and pressure-resistant construction of HDPE and PP woven sacks, which are intended to withstand cement bags. Their strong design keeps them from ripping or piercing and protects the cement from the weather. Because these sacks are made to meet precise weight specifications, they may be used to effectively and securely package and handle 50 kg of cement while preserving the product's integrity until it is needed.

Under IS standard IS 11652: 2017, all textiles, including high density polyethylene (HDPE)/polypropylene (PP) woven sacks for packaging 50 kg of cement, are required to be included in the ISI Certification Scheme.

An important Indian standard for the production and quality control of woven sacks made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) that are especially used to package 50 kg of cement is IS 11652:2017. This standard delineates the fundamental parameters and prerequisites for these sacks, guaranteeing that their strength, resilience, size, resistance to moisture, and other crucial attributes fulfill the specified standards. Adherence to IS 11652:2017 guarantees cement transportation and packaging in a secure manner by ensuring the dependability and efficiency of HDPE/PP woven sacks. In addition, this standard acts as a vital manual for producers, guaranteeing uniformity and caliber in the making of these sacks and bolstering the integrity and dependability of cement packaging in the building sector.​

Note: In order to export their goods to the Indian market, foreign producers of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) woven sacks used for packing 50 kg of cement must receive the necessary BIS Certification.

For overseas producers making high density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) woven sacks used to package 50 kg cement bags in India, the ISI mark certification developed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is essential. With this certification, the woven bags are guaranteed to fulfill strict quality and safety standards set out by BIS. These standards cover strength, durability, moisture resistance, size, and other critical features. The ISI mark, which certifies compliance with Indian standards such IS 11652:2017, attests to the bags' dependability and appropriateness for cement packaging in the Indian market. Customers, importers, and regulatory agencies all gain confidence from it, which validates the bags' quality and compliance and makes it easier for the Indian construction sector to accept and use them. ​

About ISI / BIS Certification

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.

Process of ISI / BIS Certification

There are two approaches for Indian manufacturers to become certified with the ISI Mark:

• Regular Procedure
• Simplified Procedure 

Regular Procedure

With the possible exception of cases deemed "All India first," which might take up to 180 days, the licensing procedure is expected to be finished in 120 days. This timeline starts on the day the application is received, assuming that at different points in time the documentation, unit assessment, and product conformance are all deemed acceptable.

Step 1: Manufacturing Unit Customization in Compliance with Applicable Indian Standards

• Identifying the applicable Indian Standard
• Establishing in-house testing facilities as per the Standard's requirements

Step 2: Submission of the Application Form

• Preparing an Internal Test Report for the product by the relevant Indian Standard
• Compiling all necessary documents
• Completing the Online Application Form
• Online payment of application fees directly to BIS
• Submitting hard copies of the Application Form with all enclosures to the relevant Branch Office (BO) of BIS

Simplified Procedure

This is a much faster process than the standard procedure. After a factory inspection is deemed satisfactory and the initial evaluation establishes that the sample complies with the applicable Indian Standard(s), the license application process is expected to be finished in 30 days.

Step 1: Adapting the Manufacturing Unit to Comply with the Relevant Indian Standard

• Identifying the applicable Indian Standard
• Establishing in-house testing facilities to meet the Standard's requirements

Step 2: Sample Testing

• Obtaining the necessary certificate for raw materials (Material Test Certificate - MTC)
• Conducting product sample testing at a BIS-recognized testing laboratory
