F0REWORD
This Indian Standard ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on
12 September 1989. after the draft finalized by the Textile Materials Made from PolyoleEns ( Excluding
Cordage ) Sectional Committee had been approved by the Textile Divsion Council.
The sacks covered in the standard are based on present manufacturing practices. For any other
construction, extensive field trials are necessary for arriving at a suitable fabric construction.
Similarly, in case of thickness of loose liner, if required, extensive field trials are necessary in arriving
at specific values.
This standard was fir$t published in 1971. Thereafter, based on extensive trials and the requirements
of packing of pesticides as required by the Central Insecticides Board, Directorate of Plant Protection
and Quarantine, Faridabad, the standard was revised in 1981 specifying requirements of sacks and
bags separately in two parts.
The present revision has been made in the light of the experinence gained in the implementation of the
standards since 1981, and it incorporates the following major changes:
a) Opportunity has been taken to amalgamate both the parts with a view to evolve one com-
prehensive standard covering both the woven bags for packing 5 kg and 10 kg pesticides and
woven sacks for packing 25 kg and 50 kg pesticides;
b) HDPE woven sacks made out of circular looms have been covered;
c) Type 1 sacks have been specified for packing 25 kg and 50 kg pesticides and Type 2 sacks for
packing 5 kg and 10 kg pesticides;
d) The requirements for liner have been modified; and
e) Fabric construction has been added for tubular woven sacks.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off
in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ).’ The number of
significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified valu:
in this standard.
