Importance of Qrs for Procurement of Protective Textiles a Case Study CRPF-Cobra Importance of QRs for Procurement of Protective Textiles A case study CRPF-CoBRA 15 th India International Security Expo 2012 Pragati Maidan , New Delhi 13 th Sept 2012 by Center of Excellence (Protech) Northern India Textile Research Association Ghaziabad CoE (Protech) CoE (Protech) was established in 2008-09 with one time grant received from Ministry of Textiles, GoI to assist all stakeholders: • create awareness • promote state of art technology • product development; • preparation of standards and specifications • and facilities to undertake testing as per national and international standards. Quality Specifications “A written description of a product to guide the development process” A well documented quality specification should cover the following: Forward Scope Material and Manufacture Requirements Sealed Sample Sampling and Criteria for Conformity Marking and Labeling Packaging and Packing Reference FORWARD • Who prepared the QR s • From where it can be sourced • Who is authorized to amend or withdraw the QR s • Any other information as per the requirement SCOPE This prescribes the item for which the QR s are framed MATERIAL AND MANUFACTURE Type and quality of material used and guidelines to manufacture the item WORKMANSHIP Indicates types of defects which should not be present in the finished product REQUIREMENTS Essential QR s (with tolerance) of all materials present in the final product along with the test methods to measure the Quality SEALED SAMPLE A sample in sealed condition to be present at the buyer’s place. SAMPLING AND CRITERIA FOR CONFORMITY It defines the sampling process and conforming of a lot to the requirement at manufacturer site. MARKING AND LABELING should indicate • Size • Name of manufacturer or trade mark, if any • Any other information required by the buyer PACKAGING AND PACKING should specify type and quality of packaging material to be used for packing and also the quantity to be packed in one carton/package REFERENCES All standard test methods referred should be listed Quality Specifications prepared by NITRA CoE (Protech) for CoBRA 8 Specifications Finalized & approved NYCO Uniform Life Jacket Nylon Belt 9 Specifications Multi purpose light weight load bearing frame with carrier facilities and convertibility as stretcher Water proof multipurpose rain poncho with convertibility as bivouac 10 Specifications Anti-Mosquito Veil Jungle Hat Balaclava with convertible properties as cap comforter, face mask and cold weather muffler 11 Specifications Tactical 3 points sling Special operation Rope Durable Combat Rucksack Compact light weight Blanket with good insulating properties Pouches 12 “LIGHT WEIGHT GROUND SHEET” COAT PARKA WATER BOTTLE SLEEPING BAG Technical Specifications prepared by NITRA for Indian Navy 14 Finalized & approved UNARMED COMBAT DRESS FOR MARINE COMMANDOES 15 Specifications for Divers T-Shirt Finalized & approved Cap FS Blue Short Socks 16 Indian armed forces being the major users of protective textiles, CoE has critically examined QR’s/Specifications of protective textiles used by them with an objective to identify whether these specifications match with the state-of-art technology and address if gaps exist. CoE hopes that this exercise will help in providing maximum protection to Indian armed forces CoE examined the specifications of • Bullet proof jackets, • Combat clothing, • Canvas tent fabrics and • Woolen blankets They were critically analyzed for the level protection against - missiles, fire and heat.

Revise the specifications for • Durability • Operational efficiency Wear properties In general mechanical properties such as tensile, tear and bursting strengths indicate the fabric wear property. However for combat uniform in addition to these general wear properties, it is essential to Abrasion resistance should also be measure wear resistance in terms of included as one of the requirements. abrasion. The requirement should be such that there should not be “thread breaks” up to 50,000 abrasion cycles when tested as per IS: 12673:1989. Comfort Properties To enhance comfort properties of the Indian solider the following two requirements may be added to the existing specifications. Air permeability of the fabric shall be at least 5 cc/sec/cm2 when tested according to IS 11056:1984. Water vapor permeability (water method) shall be 1400 g/m2/day (Minimum) when tested according to ASTM E-96 Safety (Heat or flame resistant properties) The presence of synthetic material such as polyester if exposed to heat or flame melts and sticks to skin causing severe burns. Combat uniforms having heat or flame resistance properties is essential in the present day context.. The use of either FR fibers or FR coating should also be included in the present specifications to meet surface ignition test when tested as per ISO 15025 (no hole formation, no melting and no dripping). Wrinkle Recovery Although wrinkle recovery property of the combat clothing is not directly linked to the performance of the fabric during the battle but good wrinkle recovery cloth makes smarter look to the solider. Therefore it is recommended that the WR rating (after 24 hours) of the combat shall be minimum 4 when tested according to AATCC 128-2004. Color specification In the developed countries, camouflage print Colors often include khaki, green, brown and black, with additional colors such as olive, yellow, orange, pink, grey, beige and sand to extend use to other urban, rural and desert backgrounds In India, almost same camouflage print (mostly developed using khaki, green, brown and black) is used for all types of surroundings. If the solider is engaged in the urban area, he/she should have such type of camouflage print uniform that matches with the urban surroundings.

Dear _______ When the war-cloud burst over the world, Australia was enveloped in impenetrable distance. She was cut off from the Motherland by thousands of miles of troubled seas. Throughout her vast borders Australia was sending a clarion call "To Arms." Mobilisation from north to south and east to west was taking place. Men were wanted and men responded. Then came the sudden stroke; Samoa lowered her German flag to an Australian force; and twenty days later Simpson Haven fell to Rear-Admiral Patey's squadron. Here the Germans resisted, thinking, perhaps, that the Australians were unversed in war; the great and glorious conflict between the "Sydney" and the 'Emden" then excited our young nation. The Emden, steaming out to sea, was the first to fire, at a range of 3700 yards, and at first her firing was excellent. Her captain thought Australia was unversed in war. But the mistake was realised. Shot after shot struck her rocking decks. First one funnel was carried away, then another.
