Polyurethanes (Quality Control) Order
Originally enacted in 2021, the Polyurethanes (Quality Control) Order aims to ensure that polyurethane products meet specific quality standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). These standards are essential for maintaining product safety, reliability, and performance in various applications, ranging from construction to automotive and furniture industries.
Key Features of the Second Amendment Order

This extension allows stakeholders additional time to adjust to the new requirements, ensuring that manufacturers and suppliers can adequately prepare their processes, training, and quality control systems in line with the updated standards.
The Polyurethanes (Quality Control) Second Amendment Order, 2024 is a critical step in enhancing the quality and safety of polyurethane products in India.
