What Is IS 16653:2017?<\/h2>\n<p>IS 16653:2017 specifies requirements for <strong>needle-punched non-woven geobags used for coastal and waterways protection<\/strong>. The BIS product manual identifies the relevant materials, product types and sizes that can be included in the certification scope. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn976601view0&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<p>These geobags are manufactured using non-woven geosynthetic fabric and are intended for applications where erosion protection and structural stability are important.<\/p>\n<p>Typical application areas include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Riverbank and river-channel protection<\/li>\n<li>Coastal erosion-control projects<\/li>\n<li>Waterway protection and river-training works<\/li>\n<li>Breakwaters and related hydraulic structures<\/li>\n<li>Civil engineering and geotechnical protection projects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The suitability of a particular geobag for a project depends on its technical specifications, installation conditions and the design requirements of the project.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Which Products Are Covered Under IS 16653:2017?<\/h2>\n<p>The BIS product manual identifies the following product parameters for defining the licence scope:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Parameter<\/th>\n<th>Categories identified in the product manual<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Material<\/td>\n<td>Polyester or polypropylene (PP)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Type<\/td>\n<td>Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Size<\/td>\n<td>Small or large<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The final licence scope depends on the products assessed and the manufacturing and testing facilities available. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn976601view0&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Manufacturers should identify the exact material, type and size combinations they intend to manufacture before preparing the application and arranging product samples.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> Needle-punched non-woven geobags under IS 16653:2017 should not be confused with polypropylene multifilament woven geobags under IS 16654:2017. These are separate products covered by different Indian Standards. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn804911search0&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<h2>3. Is BIS Certification Mandatory for Needle-Punched Non-Woven Geobags?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, the applicable Quality Control Order framework covers needle-punched non-woven geobags under IS 16653:2017.<\/p>\n<p>The Geo Textiles (Quality Control) Order, 2022, notified through S.O. 1706(E) dated 10 April 2023, includes needle-punched non-woven geobags in its schedule. It requires covered products to conform to the corresponding Indian Standard and bear the BIS Standard Mark under Scheme-I, subject to the Order&#8217;s provisions. Goods meant for export are excluded from the Order&#8217;s scope. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn976601view1&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Manufacturers and businesses should check the latest applicable notifications, amendments and any product-specific exemptions before placing products on the Indian market.<\/p>\n<h3>What does this mean for manufacturers?<\/h3>\n<p>Businesses supplying geobags covered by the Order should verify that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The product complies with IS 16653:2017, including applicable amendments.<\/li>\n<li>The relevant BIS licence has been obtained before using the Standard Mark.<\/li>\n<li>The approved licence scope covers the intended material, type and size.<\/li>\n<li>Production controls and testing arrangements support continued conformity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A supplier&#8217;s test report or customer approval does not, by itself, replace a BIS licence where compulsory certification applies.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Latest Amendment to IS 16653:2017<\/h2>\n<p>IS 16653:2017 has <strong>Amendment No. 1<\/strong>, published in 2023. BIS issued implementation guidance stating that the last date for implementation was <strong>24 April 2024<\/strong>. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn804911search22&#8243;,&#8221;turn976601view0&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<p>The amendment removed two requirements identified in the BIS implementation circular:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Water permeability at a 100 mm water head under the hydraulic properties.<\/li>\n<li>Durability under the physical properties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The BIS circular stated that the amendment did not require additional evidence of conformity to the amended standard to be established, as it removed these requirements. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn804911search22&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Applicants should therefore ensure that their testing arrangements and documentation follow the applicable amended standard and the current BIS product manual, rather than relying on outdated checklists.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Technical Requirements and Product Testing<\/h2>\n<p>The certification assessment examines the characteristics relevant to the geobag&#8217;s material, mechanical performance, hydraulic performance, physical dimensions and construction.<\/p>\n<p>The BIS product manual and BIS Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) identify tests associated with the standard. Depending on the applicable requirements and scope, these can include:<\/p>\n<h3>A. Mechanical properties<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Tensile strength in the machine and cross-machine directions<\/li>\n<li>Elongation at the specified tensile load<\/li>\n<li>Seam strength<\/li>\n<li>Abrasion resistance<\/li>\n<li>Trapezoidal tear strength<\/li>\n<li>Puncture resistance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>B. Hydraulic properties<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Water permeability or permittivity, as applicable under the amended standard<\/li>\n<li>Apparent opening size<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>C. Physical properties<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Thickness under the specified pressure<\/li>\n<li>Polymer identification<\/li>\n<li>Mass per unit area or other specified mass requirements<\/li>\n<li>Geobag length and width<\/li>\n<li>Mass of sand-filled geobags<\/li>\n<li>Applicable ultraviolet-resistance requirements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>D. Material and fabrication requirements<\/h3>\n<p>The product manual also identifies requirements for the geobag material and the polyester or polypropylene thread used for prefabrication. The applicable requirements should be checked against the current edition and amendment of IS 16653:2017. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn976601view0&#8243;,&#8221;turn976601view2&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Not every test should automatically be assumed to apply in the same way to every product or test programme. The final test schedule should be confirmed with the selected laboratory and BIS based on the intended licence scope and applicable standard.<\/p>\n<h2>6. BIS Sample Requirements for IS 16653:2017<\/h2>\n<p>The BIS product manual specifies the following sample quantities:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Geobag size<\/th>\n<th>Sample quantity<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Small size<\/td>\n<td>7 bags<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Large size<\/td>\n<td>2 bags<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>These are the sample quantities stated in the BIS product manual. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn976601view0&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<h3>Product grouping and scope selection<\/h3>\n<p>The BIS product manual identifies three scope dimensions: material, type and size. Samples of each material and each type intended to be included in the licence scope, along with a size as specified by the grouping guidelines, must be drawn and tested. The licence scope is also restricted by the manufacturing and testing facilities available. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn976601view0&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Before sending samples, the manufacturer should confirm:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li>Whether the intended product uses polyester or polypropylene.<\/li>\n<li>Which type or types\u2014Type 1, Type 2 and\/or Type 3\u2014are to be covered.<\/li>\n<li>Whether the proposed licence scope includes small geobags, large geobags or both.<\/li>\n<li>The sample identification, dispatch and testing arrangements agreed with the laboratory and BIS.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Practical recommendation:<\/strong> Finalise the intended licence scope before dispatching samples. This helps avoid unnecessary repeat testing if the applicant later seeks to add another material, type or size.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Raw Material Requirements and Factory Quality Control<\/h2>\n<p>The BIS product manual states that geobag materials must meet the relevant requirements of Clauses 4.1 and 4.2 of IS 16653, while the polyester or polypropylene thread used for prefabrication must meet Clause 4.3. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn976601view0&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<p>The product manual permits conformity of these raw materials to be established through appropriate evidence such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Supplier&#8217;s test certificate<\/li>\n<li>Test report from a BIS-recognised or empanelled laboratory<\/li>\n<li>Test report from another NABL-accredited laboratory<\/li>\n<li>In-house testing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It also states that separate raw-material testing is not required where the material is ISI marked. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn976601view0&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Manufacturers should maintain traceable records of raw-material procurement, incoming inspection, production and finished-product testing. The actual quality-control and inspection requirements should be established using the applicable BIS product manual and Scheme-I requirements.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Documents Required for BIS Certification<\/h2>\n<p>The exact document set depends on the applicant, manufacturing arrangement and application details. Manufacturers should prepare the following documents for review.<\/p>\n<h3>Company and manufacturing documents<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Company registration or constitution documents, as applicable<\/li>\n<li>Factory address and contact details<\/li>\n<li>GST registration, where applicable<\/li>\n<li>Authorisation documents for the signatory<\/li>\n<li>Details of the manufacturing premises<\/li>\n<li>Manufacturing process flow chart<\/li>\n<li>Factory layout and production-area details, where requested<\/li>\n<li>List of machinery and manufacturing equipment<\/li>\n<li>Details of in-house testing facilities and equipment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Product and technical documents<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Product specifications and technical data sheets<\/li>\n<li>Material details: polyester or polypropylene<\/li>\n<li>Type and size details for the intended licence scope<\/li>\n<li>Product drawings or construction details, where applicable<\/li>\n<li>Raw-material specifications<\/li>\n<li>Supplier test certificates and supporting test reports<\/li>\n<li>Quality-control plan and inspection records<\/li>\n<li>Sample identification details<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Testing and quality-system documents<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>List of testing equipment with relevant details<\/li>\n<li>Calibration certificates for applicable equipment<\/li>\n<li>In-house test procedures and records<\/li>\n<li>Finished-product inspection and testing formats<\/li>\n<li>Records supporting traceability of raw materials and finished goods<\/li>\n<li>Any additional declarations, forms or undertakings requested by BIS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is a preparation checklist, not a guarantee that every listed document will be required in every application. The current BIS application requirements and product-specific manual should be followed.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Step-by-Step BIS Certification Process<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Confirm the product and applicable standard<\/h3>\n<p>Confirm that the product is a needle-punched non-woven geobag covered by IS 16653:2017 and determine the applicable material, type and size.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Define the licence scope<\/h3>\n<p>Identify all product combinations the manufacturer intends to include in the licence. Scope planning is important because the BIS product manual provides grouping rules for material, type and size.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Review manufacturing and testing arrangements<\/h3>\n<p>Assess the production process, raw-material controls, machinery, testing facilities and records against the applicable standard and BIS requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Prepare the application and supporting documents<\/h3>\n<p>Compile the company details, manufacturing information, product specifications, quality-control documents and applicable declarations.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Arrange sample testing<\/h3>\n<p>Submit the required samples in accordance with the applicable BIS procedure and the agreed laboratory arrangements. The sample quantity should follow the BIS product manual.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 6: Complete factory assessment and compliance actions<\/h3>\n<p>BIS may assess the manufacturing facility, quality-control arrangements and supporting records as part of the applicable certification process. Any observations or nonconformities must be addressed through the prescribed process.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 7: Complete the BIS assessment<\/h3>\n<p>BIS reviews the application, testing evidence and applicable factory-assessment findings. Further information or corrective action may be requested where necessary.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 8: Obtain the licence before applying the Standard Mark<\/h3>\n<p>The Standard Mark should only be used in accordance with the granted BIS licence and its approved scope. Applicants should not assume that submitting an application or sending samples authorises them to mark or market the product as BIS-certified.<\/p>\n<h2>10. BIS Testing Charges and Certification Costs<\/h2>\n<p>Testing charges depend on the laboratory, test scope, sample preparation requirements and whether all applicable tests are available at the selected facility.<\/p>\n<p>The BIS LIMS listing currently displays the following examples for IS 16653:2017:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Laboratory<\/th>\n<th>Displayed testing charges, excluding taxes<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Alpha Test House Pvt.

Availability, scope, taxes and charges may change. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn976601view2&#8243;,&#8221;turn804911search2&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<p>The total project budget may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Applicable BIS application and licence charges<\/li>\n<li>Product testing and specimen-preparation charges<\/li>\n<li>Factory assessment and related expenses, where applicable<\/li>\n<li>Testing-equipment procurement, calibration or upgrades<\/li>\n<li>Documentation and quality-control preparation<\/li>\n<li>Consultancy and coordination fees, if professional support is engaged<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Confirm the current fee schedule and applicable test charges before budgeting. Do not treat the laboratory testing amount as the total cost of obtaining a BIS licence.<\/p>\n<h2>11. How Long Does BIS Certification Take?<\/h2>\n<p>There is no single reliable completion time that applies to every IS 16653:2017 application. The timeline depends on factors such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Completeness of the application and documents<\/li>\n<li>Readiness of the manufacturing facility<\/li>\n<li>Availability of the required laboratory and tests<\/li>\n<li>Sample preparation, dispatch and testing<\/li>\n<li>Factory assessment and closure of any observations<\/li>\n<li>BIS review and any additional information requested<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Applicants should prepare documents and production controls in advance and confirm current processing expectations with BIS and the selected laboratory. A consultant can help coordinate the process, but cannot guarantee the date of licence grant.<\/p>\n<h2>12. Common Mistakes to Avoid<\/h2>\n<p>Manufacturers planning BIS certification for needle-punched non-woven geobags should avoid these common issues:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Selecting the wrong standard:<\/strong> IS 16653:2017 applies to needle-punched non-woven geobags; woven geobags under IS 16654:2017 are a separate category.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ignoring the amendment:<\/strong> Testing and technical documents should reflect the applicable amendment to IS 16653:2017.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Defining the scope incorrectly:<\/strong> Material, type and size must be planned in line with the BIS grouping guidelines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Submitting incomplete raw-material evidence:<\/strong> Keep the relevant supplier certificates, test reports and traceability records.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choosing a laboratory without checking scope:<\/strong> Verify that the laboratory can conduct the required tests for the intended product.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assuming test charges cover the full project:<\/strong> Laboratory charges are separate from other applicable certification and implementation expenses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Using the Standard Mark before approval:<\/strong> Use the mark only as authorised under the granted BIS licence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>13.
