27th SEPTEMBER 2023
The Ministry of Textiles in New Delhi has introduced a new rule known as the Agro Textiles (Quality Control) Order, 2023. This rule is created by the Central Government using its authority from specific sections of the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016 (11 of 2016) with the aim of serving the public interest.
BIS QCO for the agro textiles (hdpe laminated woven flat lay tube for irrigation), effective from April 1, 2024, applies to certain goods or articles outlined in a schedule attached to the order. However, it excludes items intended for export. The primary objective is to ensure the quality of agro textiles for the benefit and safety of the public.
Under this BIS QCO for the agro textiles (hdpe laminated woven flat lay tube for irrigation), the goods mentioned in the schedule must adhere to the corresponding Indian Standard also specified in the schedule. Additionally, they are required to display the Standard Mark, and to obtain this, a license from the Bureau of Indian Standards is necessary.

BIS QCO for the agro textiles (hdpe laminated woven flat lay tube for irrigation) has been implemented to ensure that agro textiles meet strict quality standards, prioritizing the well-being and safety of the general public. It reflects the government's commitment to addressing public concerns and maintaining high-quality standards for the benefit of society.
