Polyethylene Material for Moulding and Extrusion (Quality Control) Order
The Government of India, under the provisions of the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, has made it mandatory for manufacturers of polyethylene materials used in moulding and extrusion to comply with the Indian Standard IS 7328:2020. This enforcement is done through a Quality Control Order (QCO) to ensure product quality, uniformity, and safe usage in industrial applications like packaging, piping, and moulded components.
IS 7328:2020 – Specification Overview
The standard “IS 7328:2020 – Specification for Polyethylene Material for Moulding and Extrusion” unifies previous standards for LDPE, LLDPE, and HDPE. It governs:
Materials: LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, and their compounds
Form: Pellets, granules, or powder
Application: Moulding, extrusion, thermoforming, etc.
Key Parameters:
Density
Melt Flow Index (MFI) / Melt Flow Rate (MFR)
Additional mechanical, thermal, electrical, and optical properties (as required)
BIS Certification under IS 7328:2020
Mandatory Certification:
Polyethylene materials falling under IS 7328 must be BIS-certified to be legally manufactured, stored, or sold in India. This includes the use of the ISI Mark on packaging.
Core Testing Requirements:
- Type Tests (Product Approval): Density, MFI/MFR
- Acceptance Tests (Product Identification): Agreed between manufacturer and buyer (e.g., tensile strength,
