1 SCHEME OF TESTING AND INSPECTION FOR CERIFICATION OF TEXTILES - HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (HDPE)/POLYPROPYLENE (PP) WOVEN SACKS FOR PACKAGING OF 50 kg FOODGRAINS SPECIFICATION ACCORDING TO IS 14887:2014 (First revision) 1. LABORATORY- A laboratory shall be maintained, which shall be suitably equipped and staffed, where different tests given in the specification shall be carried out in accordance with the method given in the specification. 1.1 All the testing apparatus shall be periodically checked and calibrated and records of such checks/calibration maintained. 2. TEST RECORD- All records of tests and inspection shall be kept in suitable forms approved by the Bureau of Indian Standards. 2.1 Copies of any records and other connected papers that may be required by Bureau shall be made available at any time on request. 3. QUALITY CONTROL It is recommended that, as far as possible, Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods may be used for controlling the quality of the product during production as envisaged in this scheme[see IS 397(Part I):2003, IS S397(Part 2): 2003 and IS397 (Part 3): 2003]. 3.1 In addition, efforts should be made to gradually introduce a quality management system in accordance with the quality system module as per IS/ISO STANDARD MARK :- The standard mark(s) as given in column ( 1) of the first schedule of the licence shall be stenciled/printed on each bale of HDPE/PP Woven Sacks; as the case may be, provided always that the sacks in each bale to which this mark is thus applied conforms to every requirement of the specification. 5. MARKING :- Each bale shall be legibly and indelibly marked with the following information. a) Name of the manufacturer; b) Type and size of sacks; c) Number of sacks; d) Gross weight; e) Net weight; f) Month and year of manufacture; g) Identification mark h) Any other information as required by the law in force. i) BIS Licence No. CM/L Page 1 of 8

All the production which conforms to the Indian Standard and covered under the scope of this licence shall be marked with the Standard Mark. 7.1 CONTROL UNIT:- For the purpose of this scheme, HDPE/PP Woven Sacks having same construction and manufactured in a single day shall constitute a Control Unit. 7.2 SAMPLING FOR FLOOR INSPECTION:-Five sample bundles shall be selected every four hours of production, one bag shall be taken from each selected sample bundle, subject to 30 bags in a control unit and shall be tested as under: Sl. Characteristics Sample Frequency Total No. of No. Size Samples 1. Dimensions 5 bags Every 4 hours 30 bags 2. Ends & Picks per dm 5 bags Every 4 hours 30 bags 3. Breaking strength of 1 bag One sample 5 bags Fabric, Bottom seam strength, and elongation when control unit starts and then at equal intervals 4. Sack 5 bags Every 4 hours 30 bags 5. Mass of the sack 5 bags Every 4 hours 30 bags Note- Each bundle, which is an intermediate packaging, normally contains 50 sacks In the event of failure of the sample in one or more of the requirements, the entire material in the control unit may be either reprocessed for rectifying the defect or rejected. Such reprocessed material when tested again shall conform to all the requirements of the specification. Page 2 of 8

In respect of all other clauses of the specification the factory will maintain appropriate controls and checks to ensure that their product conforms to the various requirements of the specification. 9. REJECTION- A separate record providing the detailed information regarding the rejected control units and mode of their disposal shall be maintained. Such material shall in no case be stored together with that conforming to the specification. 10. SAMPLES- The licensee shall supply, free of charge, the sample(s) required in accordance with the Bureau of Indian Standards (Certification) Regulations, 1988, as subsequently amended from his factory or godowns. The BIS shall pay for the samples taken by it from the open market. 11. REPLACEMENT- Whenever a complaint is received soon after the goods with Standard Mark have been purchased and used, and if there is adequate evidence that the goods have not been misused, defective goods are replaced free of cost by the licensee, in case the complaint is proved to be genuine and the warranty period (where applicable) has not expired. The final authority to judge the conformity of the product to the Indian Standard shall be with BIS. 12.

STOP MARKING- The marking of the product shall be stopped under intimation to the Bureau if, at any time, there is some difficulty in maintaining the conformity of the product to the specification, or the testing equipment goes out of order. The marking may be resumed as soon as the defects are removed under intimation to BIS Production Data - The licensee shall send to BIS as per the enclosed proforma to be authenticated by a Chartered Accountant or by the manufacturer by giving an affidavit /undertaking, a statement of quantity produced, marked and exported by him and the trade value thereof end of each operative year of the licence.
