Standards for Security and Safety 4th NATIONAL CONCLAVE ON STANDARDS FOR TECHNICAL TEXTILES – 21 FEB 2019, NEW DELHI J. K. Gupta, Scientist ‘D’, Bureau of Indian Standards

2 Protech Sector – Security & Safety
Protective technical textiles are specialty textiles that provide protection to wearer in hazardous situations like fire & heat, chemical exposure, ballistic protection and other extreme atmosphere conditions. The main products include FR fabrics and apparels, Protective clothing for industrial workers, protective clothing and Gloves for fire fighter, high visibility clothing, Full body protector used by RAF, Bullet Proof jackets, vest, Helmets & Shields, Chemical protective clothing, High altitude clothing, Industrial gloves etc. The segment has grown at 7% in the last five years. The segment is projected to reach to Rs.3139 crore by growing at 9% CAGR.

3 Standardization of Protech
Standards for Protective Textiles at National Level are being formulated by the following two committees at BIS: Textiles Protective Clothing Sectional Committee, TXD 32 Scope:- Covers Formulation of Indian Standards for testing and specification for textile protective clothing for protection from fire and other health/life hazards. Occupational Safety, Health and Chemical Hazard, CHD 08 Scope:- To formulate Indian Standard for i) Terminology relating to Occupational Health and Safety ii) Specifications and code of practice for testing of safety equipment iii) Code of safety for operational hazards in industries other than chemical industries iv) Occupational health and safety management system, procedure and practices. No. of standards formulated- TXD32– 33 and CHD

28 CONCLUSIONS Standardization in the field of Protech has been carried out by BIS taking into consideration the latest technological advancement in the field through consultative process of all the stakeholder. I call upon all the stakeholder of Protech to actively participate in the standard setting process for furthering the cause of National Standardization. I appeal to all the stakeholders of Protech sector to come forward and implement the Indian Standards in their area of activity and adopt the BIS certification scheme in promoting the quality of their product and to promote Make in India initiative of Govt. of India.
