New Delhi: The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is revising the quality specifications for the national flag to permit larger flag sizes and update colour measurement norms, a senior BIS official said on Friday.
The national standard for the flag, IS 1:1968, has been revised thrice since it was first notified - in 1951, 1964 and 1968. It is currently being revised again, along with two related standards governing flags made of silk khadi (IS 300:1968) and wool khadi (IS 400:1968).
