Centre Rolls Out Mandatory Quality Norms For Asbestos Cement Products
In a bid to curb import and increase domestic manufacturing, the Commerce Ministry has actually provided required high quality norms for asbestos or fiber cement-based items.
The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) mandated Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) accreditation for all items included under ‘Asbestos or Fibre Cement based Products (Quality Control) Order, 2024’ that was alerted on 6 March this year.
“It will enter into pressure on the expiry of six months from the date of publication of this notification in the Official Gazette,” the DPIIT alert said.
Little business have been approved an added nine months to comply with the new quality assurance standards, while mini markets have actually been offered an added 12 months to satisfy these criteria.
Violating the arrangements of the order BIS Act can result in penalty under the arrangements of the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016.
The primary goal of the QCO is to control the import of substandard and cheaper things, making sure that consumers obtain high quality products.
Formerly, similar orders have been released for numerous items, consisting of smart metres, welding poles and electrodes, cooking equipment and utensils, fire extinguishers, electrical ceiling fans, and residential gas ranges.
This order is the latest in a series of quality control requireds from the federal government, focused on ostensibly boosting the top quality degrees of domestic producers.
