ANNEX A
GROUPING GUIDELINES

Based on the classification and identification of Polyester Spun Yarn (PSY), the following grouping
guidelines shall apply for Grant of Licence and Change in Scope of Licence

Based on the number of folds, they are classified into single, double (two fold) and multifold yarn.
Samples of each type of yarn i.e single, double (two fold) and multifold yarn intended to be covered in
the scope shall be tested.

Based on the material, they are classified into virgin and recycled/blended yarn. Separate samples of
virgin and recycled/blended yarn shall be tested. However, the samples may be of any type process i.e.
Ring Spun/Air jet/Air vortex based on which the remaining process types may be covered.

Based on linear density range of resultant yarn, PSY shall be classified into five groups as follows

GROUP LINEAR DENSITY RANGE OF RESULTANT YARN

Group I 6s Ne to 16s Ne (37 tex to 98 tex)
Group II 16s Ne to 32s Ne (18.5 tex to 37 tex)
Group III 32s Ne to 50s Ne (12 tex to 18.5 tex)
Group IV 50s Ne to 75s Ne (7.9 tex to 12 tex)
Group V Above 75s Ne (Below 7.9 tex)

One Sample of PSY of any Linear Density shall be drawn and tested from each group to cover the entire
linear density range in that group intended to be covered in the scope of licence.

One sample of FDY of any type of yarn based on cross section/construction ( Cross sectional view,
Cross Sectional Area, Multi Component Fibres) shall be tested to cover all types of yarn based on cross
section/construction intended to be covered in the licence

However, samples of each type of yarn based on lustre, dyeing method and optional/additional
requirements shall be tested to cover the respective types.

In order to cover ECO mark in the scope of licence, sample of each variety intended to be covered in the
licence with ECO mark shall also be tested for the additional requirements for ECO mark.

The firm shall declare the types of PSY intended to be covered within the scope of their licence. The
scope of the Licence may be restricted based on the Manufacturing capability and Testing facilities of the
manufacturer

During the operation of the Licence, BO shall ensure that all the Varieties covered in the Licence are
tested in rotation to the extent possible.

c) Commercial mass of each carton/pallet;
d) Manufacturer’s name, address and trade-mark
(if available);
e) Lot/batch/merge number;
f) Month and year of manufacture; and
g) BIS Licence No. CM/L --.
h) BIS website details i.e. –―For details of BIS certification please visit www.bis.gov.in.
i) Any other information required by the law in force..

4. CONTROL UNIT – For the purpose of this scheme, a control-unit is defined as the entire
quantity of 100 Percent polyester spun gray and white yarn, of each type and variety
processed under similarconditions in a single day.

5. LEVELS OF CONTROL - The tests as indicated in column 1 of Table 1 and the levels of
control in column 3 of Table 1, shall be carried out on the whole production of the factory which
is covered by this plan and appropriate records maintained in accordance with paragraph 2
above.

Note-1: Whether test equipment is required or sub-contracting is permitted in column 2 shall be decided by the Bureau and shall be mandatory. Sub-
contracting is permitted to a laboratory recognized by the Bureau or Government laboratories empaneled by the Bureau.

Note-2: Levels of control given in column 3 are only recommendatory in nature. The manufacturer may define the control unit/batch/lot and submit his own
levels of control in column 3 with proper justification for approval to BO head.

*Note-3:In the first instance, samples for each colour and shade shall be drawn and tested either in laboratory recognized by the Bureau or Government
laboratories empaneled by the Bureau or in the in-house lab of manufacturer, in case if facility exists. Those colours and shades shall be marked only if they
conform to the relevant requirement of the specification. Afterwards, an undertaking to the effect that there shall be no change in brand, colour, shade and
processing conditions shall be obtained from the manufacturer. However, two samples drawn from each colour & shade shall be got testedonce a year in an
independent laboratory or in laboratory of manufacturer, in case if facility exists.
