Published Date: November 18, 2024
3 min Read

IS 17730: Part 2: 2021 is an Indian standard that defines the requirements for nets made from woven snow protection fabric used in agriculture and horticulture, which are certified under the BIS certification. Nets are important for India's agro-textile industry as they protect crops of fruits and vegetables from adverse weather conditions. The primary consumers of this product are likely to be farmers and those involved in increasing productivity, who require protection against frost, extreme temperatures, and environmental stress. This product enhances crop yield and quality, excluding weather-related damage.

These nets have to be brought in by foreign manufacturers, which have to compulsorily obtain BIS certification and apply for obtaining the ISI Mark. The QCO Orders are followed along with the BIS license application besides custom clearance on the BIS platform. The BIS platform helps manage registration. Fees for BIS certification vary depending on the product.

OVERVIEW

IS 17730: Part 2: 2021 is a standard that specifies the design and performance requirements for nets made from monofilament yarns to protect crops and horticultural structures from snow. These nets provide strength, durability, and other features to effectively safeguard fruit and flower crops from snow damage. With this type of standard, manufacturers can determine that nets are intended for effective protection against adverse weather conditions like snow, rather than compromising the yield of high-value crops.
