FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 1) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards,~after the draft finalized by the Transport Packages Sectional Committee had been approved by the Light Mechanical Engineering Division Council.
In the preparation of this standard assistance has been derived from ISO/WD 11895 - Part 1: ‘Flexible intermediate bulk containers - Part 1 : Definitions related to flexible intermediate bulk containers’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

IS 14738 (Part 1) : 1999
Indian Standard
FLEXIBLE INTERMEDIATE BULK CONTAINERS (FIBCs)
PART 1 DEFINITIONS RELATED TO FLEXIBLE INTERMEDIATE BULK CONTAINERS
1 SCOPE
1.1 This standard (Part 1) defines terms used in relation to flexible intermediate bulk containers
(FIBCs).
1.2 This standard applies to FIBCs intended to contain non-dangerous solid materials in powder, granular, or paste form, and designed to be lifted from above by integral or detachable devices.
2 REFERENCE
The following standard contains provisions which
through reference in this text, constitutes provision of this standard. At the time of publication, the edition indicated was valid. This standard is subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the standard indicated below:
IS No. Title 14738 (Part 2) : Flexible intermediate bulk contain-
1999 ers (FIBCs) : Part 2 Specifications, requirements, certification and marking
3 DEFINITIONS
3.1 General Definitions
3.1.1 Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC)
A primary packaging designed to:
a) have a capacity of 3 m3 (3 000 litres) or less,
b) be handled mechanically ~with or without integral or detachable devices,
c) contain liquids, pasted or solids (for instance powders or granules), and
d) be resistant to the stresses imparted during handling and~transport as determined by tests.
NOTES
1 A lower size limit is not specified but an IBC of less than
0.25 m’ (250 litres) is a typical and may require special
consideration in relation to appropriate performance tests.
2 LBCs may be designed for single-trip or multi-tip use.They may
be designed to fold-down or be dismantled when empty. They
may be fitted with an inner liner.
3 Some packaging are identical with IBCs but are safely used to
contain articles or other packages and do not therefore come
under the definition ofan IBC.
3.1.2 Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (FIBC)
IBC having the body made of a flexible material such
as woven fabric, plastics film, or paper, designed to be in contact with the contents (either directly or
through an inner liner), and collapsible when empty.
An FIBC may have an inner liner.
NOTE--The detinitions in 3.1.2.1 to3.1.2.3 each refer to a top
lift performance specification in IS 14738 (Part2). FlBCs con-
forming to any ofthese definitions may be made from any suit-
able flexible material.
3.1.2.1 Heavy duty re-usable flexible intermediate
bulk container
An FIBC designed and intended to be used for a
multitude of fillings and discharges. An FIBC of this
category is both field and factory repairable.
3.1.2.2 Standard duty re-usable flexible intermediate
bulk container
An FIBC designed and intended to be used for a limited
number of fillings and discharges. An PIBC of this
category cannot be rezused if damaged, that is, not
repairable. Replacement of an inner liner is not
considered a repair.
3.1.2.3 Single-trip flexible intermediate bulk container
An FIBC designed and intended to be used for one
filling only. An FIBC of this category cannot be re-
used. Neither replacement of an inner liner nor repair
of the FIBC is relevant to this category.
3.1.3 FIBC Type
FIBCs of like design, manufactured using like
materials and methods-of construction (giving at least
equal performance) to the same nominal cross-
sectional dimensions within type, by comparison with
the samples successfully passing the type test(s)
referred to in 5.1 of IS 14738 (Part 2).The circum-
ference may be increased by up to 10 percent provided
the same geometry is maintained. The design vertical
dimensions may be increased to achieve a series of
different volumes.
Where the type has a base discharge spout, smaller
diameter discharge spouts of like design may be used.
The presence or absence of an inner liner does not
constitute a change of type.
IS 14738 (Part 1) : 1999
3.1.4 Safe Working Load (SWL)
The maximum load which the FIBC should carry in service, as certified.
3.1.5 Safety Factor (SF)
The integer quotient between the final test load in the cyclic top lift test and the SWL value rounded down. Safety factors are illustrated as follows:
Illustration 1 Illusfration 2
Designated SWL 500 kg
Final load, cyclic test 2 400 kgf
Quotient 4.8

The results in Illustration 1 above indicate a single trip FIBC which does not meet the requirements of this standard whilst those in Illustration 2 indicate a single trip FIBC which meets the requirements.
3.1.6~Type Test
A test or series of tests conducted to determine whether the FIBC meets the requirements of this standard.
3.1.7 Ltfting Device
Integral and fixed lifting devices form part of the FIBC and are tested with it. Detachable lifting devices are regarded as lifting tools.
3.2 FIBC Parts
3.2.1 Walls
Tube of one or more layers, seamless or made out of one or more panels joined together.
3.2.2 Base

3.2.2.2 Base with opening
Flat, conical, or in an other way formed base with an
opening.
3.2.2.3 Full open base
