India delays BIS Implementation for HDPE/PP Woven Sacks until June 2025
13. February 2025The Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers has issued amendments to the Quality Control Orders (QCOs) for High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polypropylene (PP) woven sacks used for various packaging applications. The enforcement date for all three QCOs has been extended from December 6, 2024, to June 6, 2025. High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polypropylene (PP) products generally require BIS certification to be approved for import and sale in India.
The amendments affect the following products:
- HDPE/PP Woven Sacks for 50 kg Cement Packaging – Revised enforcement date: June 6, 2025.
- PP Woven, Laminated, Block Bottom Valve Sacks for 50 kg Cement Packaging – Revised enforcement date: June 6, 2025.
- PP/HDPE Laminated Woven Sacks for Mail Sorting, Storage, Transport, and Distribution – Revised enforcement date: June 6, 2025.
These changes aim to provide manufacturers and stakeholders additional time for compliance with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) requirements.
