The Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers has issued the Polypropylene (PP) Materials for Moulding and Extrusion (Quality Control) Amendment Order, 2025, which was published on June 23, 2025. This amendment updates the previous Polypropylene (PP) Quality Control Order of 2024. The updated regulations aim to ensure better compliance and quality standards for the manufacturing and use of polypropylene (PP) materials in various industries.

New Implementation Date for Quality Control Standards

The Polypropylene (PP) Materials for Moulding and Extrusion (Quality Control) Amendment Order introduces an important change in the effective date of the regulations. While the original order was scheduled to come into effect on June 24, 2025, the new amendment shifts the implementation date to October 24, 2025. This adjustment provides more time for businesses to align their production processes with the new standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

Impact on BIS Certification and Industry Compliance

With the amendment, manufacturers of polypropylene (PP) materials are required to obtain BIS certification to ensure compliance with the updated quality control standards. The certification process guarantees that the products meet the necessary specifications for safety, reliability, and performance. Companies involved in the production and export of PP materials must undergo the BIS registration process to continue their operations without disruptions. This move aims to maintain high standards in the polypropylene sector and protect consumer interests.

The new Polypropylene (PP) Quality Control Amendment Order reinforces the government's commitment to ensuring high-quality production in the chemical and petrochemical industries. Businesses must be proactive in obtaining their BIS certificates and meeting the new quality standards by October 2025.
