GROUPING GUIDELINES

1. IS15559:2004 classifies Polyester Strapping in following types:

i) Type-I – Regular Strength (Width between 9.0mm to 12.9mm)

ii) Type-II – High Strength (Width between 13.0mm to 25.0mm)

2. For the purpose of grant of licence, and change in scope of licence, the following grouping
guidelines shall apply:

a.) Sample(s) of each type (Type I/Type II) of the product intended to be covered in the scope of
licence shall be drawn and tested

b.) To cover a range of nominal width and nominal thickness, samples of the highest and lowest
width (and corresponding nominal thickness) as per Table 1 of IS 15559, shall be tested.

Note: In case it is intended to cover widths and/or thickness other than those given in Table
1, the above grouping shall apply. However, in such cases, the manufacturer shall declare
the values of nominal width, thickness and minimum breaking strength. For such a given width
value, the value of nominal thickness and the value of minimum breaking strength so declared
shall not be less than the nominal thickness and minimum breaking strength value specified
against the closest (lower) value of width in Table 1 of IS 15559.

3. However, scope of licence shall be restricted according to the manufacturing and testing facilities
available.

4. During operation of licence, samples of all varieties covered in the scope of licence, shall be
drawn in rotation, to the extent possible.
