Dear Reader,
We have crucial announcement concerning the Indian Standard for Drums and Tins (Drums Large, Fixed Ends - Grade A Drums) (Quality Control) Order, 2023, impacting all current license holders, new applicants, manufacturers, importers, and product sellers.
The Ministry of Textiles has introduced the "Protective Textiles (Quality Control) Amendment Order, 2022," slated to take effect from October 7, 2023. This amendment aims to improve and refine the current regulatory framework for ensuring quality control of protective textiles, ensuring ongoing compliance with elevated industry standards.
This directive is crafted to oversee the quality standards for products or items, particularly bullet-resistant jackets, with the exception of those intended for export.
Adhering to the specified standards, the products or items, as outlined in IS 17051 : 2018 (Textiles - Bullet resistant jackets - Performance requirements), must meet the corresponding Indian Standard and display the Standard Mark. Manufacturers must secure a license from the Bureau, in accordance with Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the Bureau of Indian Standards (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018.
The Bureau is assigned as both the certifying and enforcing entity for the designated products or items, specifically bullet-resistant jackets.
Any individual discovered to be in breach of this order will be subject to penalties as per the stipulations outlined in the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016 (11 of 2016).
