description
Cotton bales are tightly compressed and bound masses of cotton fibres, usually wrapped in jute or plastic, making them easier to handle, transport, and store. Cotton, one of the world's most widely cultivated and important crops, is typically harvested in raw form as fluffy cotton lint from the cotton plant's bolls. The standardized bales ensure that the cotton remains protected from environmental factors, such as moisture and contaminants while simplifying logistics. Cotton bales are a critical intermediary product in the cotton industry, and they serve as the basis for the production of various cotton textiles, clothing, and industrial products. IS 12171:2019 specifies the requirements for Cotton Bales. These standards define the quality parameters that Cotton Bales must meet, ensuring that the cotton is of high quality and consistent. They provide a clear classification system that helps cotton producers, traders, and textile manufacturers understand and trade cotton of various grades effectively. Manufacturers and traders must adhere to these standards to ensure that their cotton products are legal and compliant with industry regulations. Note: Manufacturers of Cotton Bales are required to obtain the mandatory BIS/CRS Registration to launch their products in the Indian market.
