ENSURING QUALITY WITH BIS CERTIFICATION FOR POLYAMIDE (NYLON) CARPETS: HOW OMEGA QMS PVT. LTD. ASSISTS MANUFACTURERS IN COMPLIANCE WITH IS 17478
INTRODUCTION
Wall-to-wall carpets made of polyamide (nylon) yarn are a popular choice for floor coverings due to their durability, colour retention, and resilience. Ensuring these carpets meet quality and safety standards is essential for both manufacturers and consumers, especially in India, where quality is regulated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under IS 17478: 2020. This Indian Standard lays out specifications for carpets constructed with polyamide yarn, addressing aspects such as construction requirements, performance characteristics, and labelling.
Achieving BIS certification under IS 17478 requires strict adherence to these standards, a process that can be challenging for manufacturers. This is where Omega QMS Pvt. Ltd. steps in, offering comprehensive assistance to manufacturers seeking BIS certification. Omega QMS helps simplify the certification process, ensuring that manufacturers meet all necessary criteria, from sample testing to compliance documentation.
SUMMARY OF IS 17478: SPECIFICATIONS FOR POLYAMIDE WALL-TO-WALL CARPETS
IS 17478 specifies requirements for wall-to-wall carpets made from polyamide yarn, which include the following components:
Construction Requirements: The carpet’s pile yarn must be made from polyamide (nylon) filament or blends, processed through bulk continuous filament (BCF) or partially oriented yarn (POY).
Primary backing uses synthetic woven or non-woven materials to hold the pile yarn.
Topical treatments for stain, bacterial, and flame resistance can be applied based on buyer-seller agreements. Back coating of the carpet is performed using a styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) latex or other suitable adhesives, and a secondary backing layer may also be added.
Dimensions and Tolerance: Carpets must meet agreed dimensions with a tolerance of ±1% for length and width, determined according to IS 17475.
Performance Requirements: Colour fastness for different conditions, including rubbing, shampooing, water, and light exposure, must meet minimum levels as specified in relevant IS standards.
Tuft withdrawal force, stain resistance, flammability, and static electrical propensity are tested to ensure carpet durability and safety, while volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions are limited to 500 µg/m²/h to ensure a low environmental impact.
DRAFT QUALITY CONTROL ORDER AND TECHNICAL REGULATION
The Indian government proposes to make BIS certification for polyamide (Nylon) carpets, whether domestically produced or imported, mandatory as per IS 17478 to ensure compliance. This regulation aims to uphold safety and quality standards across the board, making certification essential for manufacturers to market their product in India.
BIS CERTIFICATION FOR POLYAMIDE (NYLON) CAPETS AS PER IS 17478
BIS offers a comprehensive certification scheme for Polyamide (Nylon) carpets, requiring manufacturers to undergo rigorous evaluation to demonstrate their compliance with IS 17478. Achieving this certification not only guarantees a high-quality product but also boosts market credibility, enhancing the manufacturer’s competitiveness.
