IS 3053 - Canes (Rattans) Suitable for Baskets

Key Specifications from IS 3053:

• Material: Any species of cane (rattan) can be used for basket manufacturing (Clause 3.1).

• Diameter of Canes for Stakes and Weavers:

  • Sizes 1 & 2 baskets:
    Diameter = 9 ± 3 mm
  • Sizes 3 & 4 baskets:
    Diameter = 12 ± 3 mm
    • Exception: First 10 rounds (weavers) from bottom may be 9 ± 3 mm (Clause 3.3).

Notes on Usage:

• Weaver (Randing): Rod worked in randing the basket (Clause 2.4).
• The standard aims to optimize cane usage due to increasing demand and limited supply (Clause 4.0.2).

Summary Table:
