Majority of standards in technical textile are concentrated in a few areas and there is a need to broad base the standard formulation process to cover other areas of technical textiles. Currently, majority of the standards are in the area of industrial textiles, agro textile etc and there is a need to have more standards in areas like medical textiles etc.
