Dear Viewer,
THIS IS THE RECENT UPDATE FOR ALL EXISTING LICENSE HOLDERS, NEW APPLICANTS, MANUFACTURERS, IMPORTERS, AND PRODUCT SELLERS FROM THE MINISTRY OF TEXTILE. IT SPECIFICALLY PERTAINS TO THE BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARDS QUALITY CONTROL ORDER (BIS QCO) FOR THE MEDICAL TEXTILES (BEDSHEET AND PILLOW COVER).
22th FEBRUARY 2023
The Indian Ministry of Textiles has made a new rule called the Medical Textiles (Quality Control) Order, 2023, in New Delhi on 22th February, 2024. The government decided this to ensure that certain medical products meet good standards for everyone's safety.
As per mentioned in the BIS QCO for the medical textiles (bed sheet and pillow cover) Bed sheet and Pillow Cover must adhere to the corresponding Indian Standard IS 17630:2021.
The rule starts working right after it's published in the Official Gazette. It applies to some things listed in Schedule A and Schedule B, but not to things made for other countries or things made by small groups of people called Self Help Groups (SHGs). Self Help Groups (SHGs) are small groups of 10 to 20 people who are alike in social and economic backgrounds. They join together to save money and work for common goals. In some places where people live far from each other or in areas with many tribal communities, even smaller groups of at least 5 people can form Self Help Groups (SHGs).
According to the BIS QCO for the medical textiles (bed sheet and pillow cover) for things listed in Schedule A and Schedule B, they must follow specific standards mentioned in the schedules. To show they meet these standards, they need a mark given by the Bureau of Indian Standards. To get this mark, they need a license following certain rules.
The Bureau of Indian Standards makes sure that things listed in Schedule A and Schedule B follows this rule. If someone doesn't follow these rules, they might get punished according to the laws in the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016. In short, BIS QCO for the medical textiles (bed sheet and pillow cover) is made to make sure medical products meet good standards and are safe for everyone.
