Awareness and Implementation Webinar

BIS, the National Standards Body of India was established for harmonious development of the activities of standardization, marking and quality certification of goods and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. BIS has been providing traceability and tangibility benefits to the national economy in a number of ways, i.e., providing safe reliable quality goods; minimizing health hazards to consumers; promoting exports and imports substitute; control over proliferation of varieties, etc.

The Textiles Department, Bureau of Indian Standards is organizing an “Awareness and Implementation Webinar on QCOs on Identified Indian Standards under Medical Textiles” on Monday, 20 November, 2023  at 1430 hrs onwards. 

The main objective of the webinar is to spread awareness on product standards on Medical Textiles e.g.  Sanitary Pad (Disposable and reusable), Baby Diaper, Bedsheet and Pillow Cover, Shoe Covers, Dental Bib, Coveralls, Facemask etc.

Webinar will not only talk about the salient features and importance of these standards but also disseminate valuable information on BIS conformity assessment/certification process for implementation of standards. 

Through this webinar, it is envisaged to bring the manufacturers/stakeholders of Medical Textiles and BIS to a common platform for discussion on standards which are brought under Quality Control Order(QCO’s)  by Ministry of Textiles (MoT) as well as its implementation related issues.
