SCHEME OF INSPECTION AND TESTING

1. LABORATORY - A laboratory shall be maintained which shall be suitably equipped

(as per the requirement given in column 2 of Table 1) and staffed, where different tests
given in the specification shall be carried out in accordance with the methods given in
the specification.

1.1 The manufacturer shall prepare a calibration plan for the test equipment.

2. TEST RECORDS – The manufacturer shall maintain test records for the tests carried
out to establish conformity.

3. PACKING AND MARKING – The Standard Mark as given in the Schedule of the
license shall be printed using suitable inks by flexography or gravure printing or
stenciling on each sack and bale of HDPE /PP woven sacks; as the case may be,
provided always that sacks in each bale to which this mark is thus applied conforms to
every requirement of the specification.

Note: The words “for HDPE woven sack only” or “ for PP woven sack only” as
applicable shall be printed beneath the standard mark conspicuously on each sack.

3.1 Marking and packing shall be done as per the provisions of the Indian Standard. In
addition, the following information shall be given on each bale or the label attached to
it:
a) Control Unit (or Batch) Number.
b) BIS website details i.e–“For details of BIS certification please visit www.bis.gov.in”

4. CONTROL UNIT – For the purpose of this scheme, All the HDPE/PP woven sacks
of the same construction produced under similar conditions in a day shall constitute
a control unit.

5. LEVELS OF CONTROL - The tests as indicated in column 1 of Table 1 and the levels
of control in column 3 of Table 1, shall be carried out on the whole production of the
factory which is covered by this plan and appropriate records maintained in accordance
with paragraph 2 above.

5.1 All the production which conforms to the Indian Standard and covered by the licence
should be marked with Standard Mark.

5.2 SAMPLING FOR FLOOR INSPECTION

Sacks shall be selected during production from each a control unit and shall be testedas
under::

Sl. Characteristics Sampl Frequency Total No.

No eSize of
. Samples
1 Dimensions 5 sacks Every 4 hours 30 sacks
 2 Ends & Picks per dm 5 sacks Every 4 hours 30 sacks
3 Breaking strength of 1 sack One sample when control 05 sacks

4 Sack, Seam, 5 sacks Every 4 hours 30 sacks
Lamination(If required
by the
buyer), Capacity and
Valve for filling of sacks
5 Mass of the sack 5 sacks Every 4 hours 30 sacks

Notes:

1. Each bundle, which is an intermediate packaging, normally contains 50 sacks.

However, the number of sacks in each bundle may vary as per the customer’s
requirement.

2. In case of any non-conformity, the production to be stopped, Root cause analysis to be

carried out and corrective actions to be taken before resuming production.

3. 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.

6. REJECTIONS–Disposal of non-conforming product shall be done in such a way so as

to ensure that there is no violation of provisions of BIS Act,2016.
