Yarn constructed completely of polyester fibers is referred to as 100 percent polyester spun grey and white yarn, or PSY. This yarn comes in two colors: gray in its natural, undyed condition or white after processing and dying. The term "spun" denotes the process of creating a single strand of yarn by twisting or spinning separate polyester fibers together. Grey polyester spun yarns are well known for their exceptional qualities, which include resilience to wrinkling, shrinking, and color fading, as well as their robustness and strength. These versatile yarns may be used alone or in combination with other fibers to create a vast range of textiles, each with its own special properties and textures.
PSY is frequently utilized in a range of textile applications, including as the creation of textile items like as clothing and textiles. Grey and white spun yarn made entirely of polyester is significant because it helps the textile sector fulfill a variety of customer requests, create long-lasting and reasonably priced textile goods, and adjust to shifting market demands without sacrificing quality or consistency.
Under IS standard IS 17265:2023, all spun grey and white yarn (PSY) made of 100 percent polyester is now required to be included in the ISI Certification Scheme.
Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
