Published Date: April 28, 2025 4 min Read

BIS certification is essential for High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polypropylene (PP) woven sacks used for packaging 25 kg polymer materials as per IS 16703:2017. This standard ensures that the sacks meet critical quality parameters such as strength, durability, resistance to moisture, and suitability for industrial use. Certification under IS 16703:2017 confirms that the packaging is safe, reliable, and fit for efficient handling, storage, and transportation of polymer materials.

IS 16703:2017 – Textiles — High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) / Polypropylene (PP) Woven Sacks for Packaging of 25 kg Polymer Materials

This standard specifies the requirements for woven sacks made from HDPE or PP tapes, intended for packaging polymer materials in 25 kg quantity. These sacks are crafted using woven fabric, with or without lamination, to ensure necessary protection from environmental elements like moisture and rough handling. The standard covers essential parameters such as sack dimensions, weight, breaking and bursting strength, seam strength, and overall construction quality. It also lays down methods for sampling and testing to verify conformity to the prescribed specifications, ensuring the sacks can sustain the load and stress encountered during warehousing and transit.

Benefits of BIS Certification for HDPE/PP Woven Sacks

BIS certification under IS 16703:2017 ensures that the woven sacks meet the defined standards of quality and safety. For manufacturers, it helps build product credibility, supports access to quality-conscious and regulated markets, and improves competitiveness. For users such as polymer producers and logistics handlers, certified sacks minimize risks of tearing, moisture ingress, and material loss, while ensuring ease of handling and optimized storage during transportation and distribution.
