High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polypropylene (PP) woven sacks are durable, lightweight, and moisture-resistant packaging materials widely used for storing and transporting food grains. Designed to hold up to 50 kilograms, these sacks provide excellent strength, tear resistance, and protection against external elements, ensuring the quality and safety of the stored grains.
They are commonly used in agriculture, food supply chains, and warehouses, meeting both industrial and environmental standards.
Introduction
The Textiles-High Density Polyethylene and
Polypropylene Woven Sacks for Packaging or Filling (Quality Control) Order,
2020, issued by the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, mandates BIS
certification for HDPE/PP woven sacks for packaging 50 kg food grains. This
certification ensures compliance with IS
14887:2014, which sets quality benchmarks for these products. The ISI Mark
guarantees that the sacks meet the required standards for durability, safety,
and usability. Manufacturers must obtain BIS certification to legally sell
their products in the Indian market, and failure to do so may result in penalties
under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016.
Why is BIS Certification
Necessary for HDPE/PP Woven Sacks?
BIS certification is essential to ensure that HDPE/PP woven sacks meet the quality and safety requirements outlined in IS 14887:2014. Certification confirms that the sacks are strong, resistant to tearing, and suitable for storing and transporting 50 kg of food grains, thereby protecting the grains from contamination and spoilage. It also enforces compliance with the Quality Control Order, 2020, which aims to standardize manufacturing practices and safeguard consumer interests. Without BIS certification, manufacturers cannot sell these products in India, and non-compliance may result in legal penalties, making it a crucial requirement for market access and consumer trust.
Overview of Indian
Standard IS 14887:2014
IS 14887:2014 specifies the quality and
performance criteria for HDPE/PP woven sacks used for packaging 50 kg food grains.
It covers parameters such as material composition, dimensions, breaking
strength, seam efficiency, and moisture resistance. The standard ensures that
the sacks provide adequate protection to food grains during storage and
transportation while maintaining durability under various conditions.
Compliance with IS 14887:2014, mandated by the Quality Control Order, 2020, is required for manufacturers to
obtain BIS certification, ensuring that only high-quality sacks are available
in the Indian market for food grain packaging.
The BIS
certification process for HDPE/PP Woven Sacks for packaging of 50 kilogram
Foodgrains involves multiple steps, designed to thoroughly evaluate a product's

4. Sample Testing: Product samples are
taken and tested in BIS-approved laboratories to verify compliance with Indian
standards.
5. Certification Grant: Upon successful
completion of the inspection and testing, BIS grants certification, allowing
the manufacturer to use the BIS mark on their products.
To apply for BIS
certification, manufacturers need to submit the following documents:
● Application form
● Manufacturing process details
