India strengthens its product quality certification system, and polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride will be added to the BIS certification list
Recently, according to Act No. 11 of the Indian Bureau of Standards Act 2016, the Department of Chemistry and Petrochemicals of the Ministry of Chemistry and Fertilizers of India has made an important decision to strictly regulate the quality control of polypropylene (PP) molding and extrusion materials, as well as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) homopolymers. This news will be officially announced in the Indian Gazette. According to the latest quality control order, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride will be included in the BIS mandatory certification list. This move aims to ensure that polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride products produced and imported from India meet strict standard requirements, providing consumers with safer and more reliable products. Enterprises need to understand whether the chemicals they produce or sell require BIS certification and apply according to certification requirements.
According to the new quality control order, designated goods or items must comply with the corresponding Indian standards and be marked with the standard name, as shown in the table below. It should be noted that this order does not apply to exported goods or items.
Table 1

Table 2

This order shall take effect 180 days after its publication in the Indian Gazette. The Indian Bureau of Standards will become a certification and enforcement agency, with important responsibilities for the quality certification and supervision of chemical products such as polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride.
This measure marks the further strengthening of the Indian government in the field of product quality, aiming to establish a more reliable market environment, protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and promote sustainable development of the Indian economy. Both consumers and businesses will benefit from this measure and receive higher levels of product quality and safety assurance.
