TECHNICAL TEXTILES FOR INDIA: [ TEXTILE STANDARDS. (BIS must RUN a 2 year MSc (TextileStd) Course for BSc(TECH) Textiles.]

IN INDIA WE have many colleges who offer a 3 year BSc (Tex Tech) course They further offer MSc (Tex Tech) also,as the future big industry needs experts to manage Textile Standards ,which are continuously updated Work is going to be more bone by AI and men may go else where where thet can contribute their skill better, We need to train all type of machines and they are many, we need to train them and this we already doing it but it is not something I have in my mind,

Students who come from BSc (Text) are to be trained in various aspects of Textiles in Technical Textiles which is different we will have to take different sort of teaching is required.
I have a project to train a first batch of 15 students in Textile Standards. WE have our Indian Army Unit who are running :"Army Institute of Fashion"in Bangalore,

That is not what I propose to do. Our Students learn Standards in Textiles that need to be maintained
This report gives all the standards that are to be tested on a regular basis just like a university.

Our infrastructure cost is to be prepared.

Project cost must be made,

We need people who will accept this project.

Though we have Govt of India Huge Establishment namely 'BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARDS'

WE need to meet the Director to get his advise and take the Project to Prime Minister.

Formerly known as the Eco-Textile Labeling Guide, Textile Standards & Legislation was first published in 2008 and is an easy-to-use on-line resource, which now details over 60 textile sustainability labels, regulation and standards.

Our sixth edition of the 100 page printed booklet was published in January 2018 and includes updates to all the latest label criteria, new industry initiatives and changes to environmental legislation that impact on the textile industry. Published in a bid to cut through the confusion surrounding environmental and social compliance in the global textile industry.

TSL combines all the very best elements of the long established Eco-Textile Labeling Guide together with the online SIGNS tool developed by the European Outdoor Group, and its members. It provides users with a hugely valuable resource that is immediately updated on a continuous basis through its own bespoke fully searchable on-line database at:

www.textilestandards.com

If you also want to receive our bi-annual handbook of Textile Standards & Legislation please follow this link above to upgrade to Textile Standards & Legislation PLUS. Readers get all the benefits of the above, PLUS a 100-page printed booklet to share with colleagues or friends or to read in your own time away from your desk.

ASTM's textile standards provide the specifications and test methods for the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of textiles, fabrics, and cloths, as well as the natural and artificial fibers that constitute them. The textiles covered by these standards are commonly formed by weaving, knitting, or spinning together fibers such as glass fiber strands, wool and other animal fibers, cotton and other plant-derived fibers, yarn, sewing threads, and mohair, to name a few. These textile standards help fabric and cloth designers and manufacturers in testing textiles to ensure acceptable characteristics towards proper end-use.
