Polypropylene (PP) Materials for Moulding and Extrusion (Quality Control) Amendment Order, 2025 - Detailed Information

The Government of India has introduced a new amendment to the Polypropylene (PP) Materials for Moulding and Extrusion (Quality Control) Second Amendment Order,  22nd October, 2025, through the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Act, 2016. The amendment, in the public interest, is based on consultation with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and only changes the effective date of earlier Quality Control Orders (QCOs)to April 24, 2026, for polypropylene materials used in moulding and extrusion.

What is the Polypropylene (PP) Quality Control Order?

The Polypropylene (PP) Materials for Moulding and Extrusion IS 10951 (Quality Control) Order, 2024, was established to ensure that PP materials used in the production of goods meet quality and safety standards and have BIS certification.

Polypropylene (PP) is a versatile material used in numerous industries, including packaging, automotive parts, consumer goods, pipes, and other industrial components. The BIS-registered quality will help enhance the reliability and safety of products as well as the overall product performance for domestic and export markets.

The Quality Control Order mandates that manufacturers and importers must obtain a BIS Registration for the specific grades of Polypropylene materials specified in the Order before selling or distributing those materials within India.

What’s New in the 2025 Amendment?

The Second Amendment Order of 2025 does not include any new product standards or technical requirements. It simply extends the implementation date on the existing order. Here is what has changed: 

• Previous enforcement date: Under the original 2024 Order, the implementation was previously scheduled for an earlier date. 
• New enforcement date: The new amendment changes the effective date to 24 April 2026. 

This means that mandatory compliance for IS 10951 within the BIS Quality Control regime will now not come into effect until 24 April 2026, instead of the existing notified date.

This change allows time for all manufacturers, importers, and other interested parties to prepare to comply, obtain BIS licenses and generally fully comply with Indian Standards, and complies with them.

Previous QCO on Polypropylene (PP) Materials

This original  (QCO) was published in the Gazette, S.O. 921(E), on February 26, 2024. Based on this initial ordinance, modifications were made to the timelines to reflect an appropriate period for implementation.

Here is a summary timeline:

• S.O. 921(E) – Initial order on 26 February 2024
• S.O. 3594(E) – Amended on 23 August 2024
• S.O. 5553(E) – Amended on 24 December 2024
• S.O. 2788(E) – Amended on 23 June 2025
• S.O. 4779(E) – Most recent amendment on [October 2025] extending the enforcement date to 24 April 2026.

Why This Extension Matters

The extension of the date for implementation is viewed positively by the industry, since it permits manufacturers and importers extra time to adjust to BIS certification requirements, establish new product testing arrangements, and upgrade any production systems to Indian Standards.

It also assists in minimising risk by facilitating a successful transition to its Quality Control regime that minimises disruption to the supply chain and avoids compliance engagement constraints.

For the government and BIS, the objectives remain unchanged in improving the quality of manufacturing, consumer safety, and global competition under the “Make in India” and “Zero Defect, Zero Effect” initiatives.

In Summary

The Polypropylene (PP) Materials for Moulding and Extrusion (Quality Control) Second Amendment Order, 2025, presents a significant amendment which postpones the introduction of compulsory BIS certification of PP materials to 24 April 2026. 

Companies dealing with Polypropylene raw material, moulded PP products, or extrusion-based PP products should take this part of 2026 to ensure compliance with applicable BIS standards, test requirements, and labelling requirements.
