BIS CERTIFICATION FOR PLAIN COPIER PAPER IS 14490:2018
In today's competitive landscape, maintaining market presence without a certified, high-quality product can be challenging. Obtaining a BIS license may also be essential for selling products in the Indian market. To achieve BIS certification and ensure product quality, manufacturers must adhere to the specified Indian standards.
Lets delve deeper into IS 14490:2018 for Plain copier paper.
IS 14490:2018 covers plain copier paper, outlining its requirements, sampling procedures, and testing methods for use with plain paper copying machines.
The product must meet the quality and performance standards specified in the standard. Plain copier paper must be devoid of pinholes, featuring a well-calendered, smooth surface without fluff or loose fibers. Surface sizing with starch is recommended to prevent fluffiness. Additionally, the paper should demonstrate excellent dimensional stability, thermal stability, and minimal static charge.
Given that the equipment's operating temperature reaches around 100°C, the moisture content of the paper should be within the range of 4.0% to 5.5% when tested in accordance with IS 1060 (Part 1).
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT FOR ECO MARK
The product needs to meet the quality and performance standards specified in the standard. Manufacturers seeking an Eco Mark must furnish an environmental clearance from the respective state pollution control board to the BIS.
Based on the raw materials utilized in manufacturing, the material will be categorized into two types:
