Polyester Continuous Filament Fully Drawn Yarn (FDY) is a
premium yarn made from continuous polyester filaments that are fully drawn to
achieve optimal mechanical and chemical properties. Widely used in the
production of fabrics for apparel, home textiles, and industrial applications,
FDY is known for its strength, smooth texture, and dimensional stability.
Compliance with IS 17261:2019 ensures that the yarn meets critical industry
standards for tensile strength, elongation, and colorfastness, making it
suitable for high-quality fabric production and diverse textile applications.
Introduction
As per the Quality Control Order 2023, DPIIT mandates BIS certification for Polyester Continuous Filament Fully Drawn Yarn (FDY) under IS 17261:2019, effective from January 1, 2024. This regulation ensures that only high-quality certified FDY yarn is marketed in India, supporting the countryโs textile industry by ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards.
Why BIS Certification is Necessary for Polyester FDY
BIS certification ensures that Polyester Continuous Filament Fully Drawn Yarn
(FDY) complies with the stringent requirements of IS 17261:2019, guaranteeing
its quality, safety, and performance. It certifies that the yarn is made from
quality materials, meets required tensile strength, elongation, and
colorfastness standards, and is free from defects or contaminants, making it
suitable for both consumer and industrial applications. This certification
helps manufacturers meet national and international market demands, enhancing
their competitiveness in the textile industry. Moreover, BIS certification
ensures legal compliance, protecting manufacturers from penalties under the
Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, for non-compliance with the Quality
Control Order, 2023
Overview of Indian Standard IS 17261:2019
IS 17261:2019 outlines the quality standards for Polyester Continuous Filament
Fully Drawn Yarn (FDY), specifying key parameters such as material composition,
which requires continuous polyester filaments with defined draw ratios and
processing criteria. The standard also sets physical property requirements,
including yarn strength, elongation, and filament uniformity, ensuring the
yarn's durability and performance in various textile applications.
Additionally, colorfastness guidelines ensure that FDY yarn maintains its color
integrity during processing and in finished fabrics. The standard also provides
clear instructions for packaging, labeling, and transportation to preserve
product quality and prevent damage or contamination during handling.
