Weaving machines, frequently referred to as looms, are critically important in the production of fabrics in the continually changing textile industry. Handloom, power loom, Jacquard loom, and an advanced air-jet and waterjet loom are available to fulfill specific weaving patterns and material requirements. While India is aspiring to improve efficiency and volume in its textile production, the legal entity, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), has proposed that all kinds of weaving machinery and its parts must go through certification. This undertaking seeks to enhance the quality of the products, safety, and their conformity to the international standard. These aspects include performance requirements, testing requirements, laboratory standards, and labeling requirements within the BIS certification process. According to these regulations, manufacturers are able to enhance their products while achieving consumers’ trust in a competitive economy.
Here we will present the classifications of weaving machines, manufacturing processes, performance tests, and a crucial aspect for the advancement of the Indian textile industry – BIS certification.
BIS Registration Sample
Looms are some of the most crucial tools in the fabrication of fabrics and can be widely described as weaving machines. We have different kinds of weavers and all these weavers are of different types depending on the specific weaving processes and types of fabrics. The primary categories include:
The weaving machinery sector in India is experiencing transformations in recent regulations prescribed for BIS certification for various types of weaving machines and their parts which has been scheduled for August 28, 2025.
The manufacturing process of weaving machines involves several stages:
The general use of BIS standards will help upgrade these machines by eradicating guesswork in manufacturing and providing certified guidelines for constructing the machines as required by the manufacturers.
The performance requirements for weaving machines include:
Testing methods typically involve:
These tests are important for the correction of BIS standards so that in the zone only those machines that meet these standards should be permitted.
Testing methods for weaving machines can be categorized into several types:
Determines whether all functions running in the machine work properly when there are no disturbances or abnormalities.
Ensures machines conform to safety standards to prevent accidents during use.
Assesses the machine's speed and efficiency against predetermined standards.
These testing procedures aid manufacturers in discovering defects that could make machines a problem to consumers, thus guaranteeing entities meet BIS standards.
To conduct testing on All types of weaving machines (looms) and (or) their assemblies/ sub-assemblies / components. effectively, laboratories must adhere to specific requirements:
Labeling and markings are fundamental requirements of BIS standards regarding specifications for All types of machinery for the treatment of material by a process involving a change of temperature and(or)their assemblies /sub-assemblies /components. Each product must include:
| General Documents | Technical Documents |
|---|---|
| Business License | Plant Layout |
| Trademark License | List of Manufacturing Equipment |
| Application Form | Manufacturing Process Flow Chart |
| Authorization Letter | Product Literature |
| Laboratory Test Reports | List of testing equipment and machinery |
| MSME Certificate | Product’s Technical Specification |
| List of Calibration Certificate |
The BIS certification process for All types of weaving machines (looms) and (or) their assemblies/ sub-assemblies / components.
Applications are filled including relevant documents that outline the production processes of the manufacturers.
A BIS officer pays a visit to the manufacturing company in order to assess the levels of compliance with set regulations.
The samples from the production batches are analyzed at the BIS-accredited laboratories.
As a result of the evaluation of these facilities and products, BIS grants permission to the manufacturers to use the ISI mark on their products.
To sustain the standards practice, normal assertions are carried out.
This is a process that the manufacturers need to understand so that they can get an efficient certification process.
Importance of BIS Certification
BIS certification is crucial for several reasons:
Conclusion
The passage of a ruling that makes BIS certification mandatory for weaving machines is a dramatic change in the existing structure of the textile industry of India. Though achieving increased product quality and safety is its goal, it is also a concern for many manufacturers who have relied on imported machinery parts. While stakeholders adjust to these new regulations it will become necessary for them to strive to achieve both goal of compliance as well as innovation in order to experience growth in this important sector.
At Professional Utilities, we leverage our industry knowledge and expertise to help businesses navigate complex regulations, minimize risks, and optimize operations for maximum efficiency and profitability.
Every type of weaving machine (looms), whether complete, in parts, or as assemblies/sub-assemblies, must comply with BIS requirements under relevant HSN codes to be manufactured and sold.
It ensures manufacturers maintain high-quality standards, although it may pose challenges for those dependent on imported components.
Accredited laboratories perform the mandatory performance and safety tests required by BIS before weaving machines can be approved for use.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
