摘要

Ficci has urged Ministry of Textiles and BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) to expedite the formulation of standards in technical textiles for health, safety and environment reasons. Speaking on the occasion of 2nd National Seminar on Standards in Technical Textiles, jointly organized by FICCI, Ministry of Textiles and BIS, Ms. Zohra Chatterji, Secretary, Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India said "There is a need to identify more institutions that would help in the process of formulation of standards for technical textiles. Majority of standards in technical textile are concentrated in a few areas and there is a need to broad base the standard formulation process to cover other areas of technical textiles. Currently, majority of the standards are in the area of industrial textiles, agro textile etc and there is a need to have more standards in areas like medical textiles etc.
