- Authority Issuing Certification: The Bureau Of Indian Standards is responsible for issuing certifications regarding product quality and safety in India (BIS).
- Technical Standards: IS 15907 HDPE Woven Beds for Vermiculture describes the technical and material specifications along with performance criteria for HDPE woven beds intended for use in vermiculture.
- Quality of Material: IS 15907 specifies the characteristics of HDPE woven beds as being durable; non-toxic; having been treated with ultra-violet (UV) protection; and designed for extended periods of composting.
- Performance Assessment: BIS-certified products will be subjected to various performance tests including tensile strength testing; permeability testing; sewing quality testing; as well as a general physical resilience testing of environmental conditions.
- Legitimacy in the Marketplace: BIS Certified HDPE Vermiculture Beds are legally accepted products in the marketplace providing credibility to the purchaser and promoting environmentally sustainable agricultural practices (composting).
Introduction
BIS Certification for High Density Polyethylene Woven Beds used in Vermiculture is outlined in IS 15907 as a means of certifying that the beds used to produce organic compost via vermiculture are manufactured according to quality, durability and safety specifications. The Bureau of Indian Standards has issued BIS Certification which verifies that the HDPE Woven beds will be constructed from suitable materials to give them the ability to provide proper aeration and drainage as well as be long lasting against exposure to the elements for extended periods. Adherence to IS 15907 provides for efficient vermicomposting.
What is IS 15907?
On the basis of the standard IS 15907, the Bureau of Indian Standards has set up a quality assurance mechanism for HDPE woven beds for vermiculture. This is only one of the series of the decentralization of the standardization of the tools, the containers, and the systems that are used for the management of organic waste and the production of compost. The technical requirements for the HDPE woven beds according to IS 15907 are that the specification include the details on raw material, the method of fabric making, the type of fabric, the quality of the stitching and the resistance .
Key Points:
- Certification is issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards to provide product quality assurance and create standards for a product.
- IS 15907 provides specifications regarding the materials, design, and performance of HDPE woven vermiculture beds.
- Material safety refers to using non-toxic, durable, and UV-stable HDPE that is worm-friendly compostable.
- Quality testing includes tests for product strength, permeability, stitching quality, and environmental resistance.
- Advantages of compliance with BIS certification include credibility of the product, the ability to comply with a legal requirement, and support of environmentally sustainable organic farming.
Why is BIS Certification Mandatory
BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) has made BIS certification compulsory for all HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) woven beds used for vermiculture to ensure they meet IS 15907 standards regarding quality and safety. This is important because it protects consumers from low-quality products, increases the longevity of products, makes sure that the materials used are safe to use, will allow vermicomposting to work properly, and creates an avenue for manufacturers throughout India to produce a consistent set of standards.
Key Reasons:
- Quality Assessments ensure all the required strength, durability, and functional ability levels specified in IS 15907 are satisfied with an HDPE woven bed.
- Materials Safety and Certification confirms that only safe to human health (non-toxic) and “green” environmental materials are used. HDPE woven beds will not hurt earthworms or add toxins to the resulting compost during vermicomposting.
- Regulatory Compliance requires a manufacturer’s mandatory certification based on Bureau of Indian Standards, to legally manufacture and sell HDPE woven beds in India.
- Product Reliability prevents the application of non-standard materials as inputs into a vermicomposting system and guarantees the long service life of an HDPE woven bed as a dependable source of vermicomposting material.
- Consumer Confidence develops a high level of confidence among farmers and composters that all products manufactured from HDPE are of standardised and certified quality.
Importance and Benefits of BIS Certification
| Importance | Benefits |
| To comply with the Indian Standard(IS) 15907 technical specifications & quality requirements of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) woven bed. | Increased level of quality in compost products, & Create a durable, dependable and long-lasting source of vermiculture beds that will produce compost indefinitely. |
| The Bureau of Indian Standards(BIS) provides the Certification for all legally produced & sold HDPE (high density polyethylene) woven beds. | By providing farmer safety, the confidence in the health of the earthworm & compost will increase by eliminating the risk to the manufacturer of compost products from potentially harmful. |
