BIS Certification for HDPE/PP Woven Sacks for 50 kg Cement Packaging – IS 11652:2017

BIS Certification for HDPE/PP Woven Sacks for 50 kg Cement Packaging – IS 11652:2017

To sell HDPE or PP woven sacks for packaging 50 kg cement bags in India, getting BIS certification is now mandatory as per the Quality Control Order (QCO) effective from 06 June 2025. This ensures the sacks meet Indian safety and quality standards under IS 11652:2017.

These bags are mainly used in the cement industry due to their strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. They help in the safe transport and storage of cement across construction sites.

Why BIS Certification Is Needed:

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), under the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, has made it compulsory to get BIS approval before selling or importing these bags. The bags must carry the ISI mark after successful testing and approval.

Product Description:

HDPE/PP woven sacks are made from strips or tapes of High-Density Polyethylene or Polypropylene. These bags are:

• Lightweight but strong

• Resistant to tearing and moisture

• Affordable for bulk packaging

• Suitable for heavy-duty cement transportation

They are widely preferred in the cement industry for their performance, reusability, and the ability to print product details directly on the surface.
