Chennai: Imports of inferior steel made in unlicensed factories from China and Southeast Asia with fake BIS certifications are now in the country. This represents the challenges of the quality of products available in the market and domestic production.
According to Ajay Srivastava, founder of GTRI, these low-quality products will mislead fake BIS labels, misleading consumers, and bypassing security and quality regulations.
Some importers mischaracterize uncertified steel steps, as bite times that undermine quality in critical areas such as construction and infrastructure.
Chinese company Guangdong Lanxin Industrial Investment warned Indian customs in September 2024 that certain importers and Chinese exporters had abused the dual ideals to export the company in place of classes instead of classes. It was. To prevent this, the company launched its online review platform www.runxinbis.com and asked customs officials to check the program before deleting it.
A similar issue was reported in Vietnamese company Inox Hoah Binh Johannes-Aktiengesellschaft. According to reports, the certificate was fraudulently used without proper checks at customs to remove cheap items from unlicensed factories.
This harms not only public safety at risk, but also domestic manufacturers who follow strict quality standards. Such an influx of products could undermine trust in certified products and create unfair competition for businesses that are following the highest standards, GTRI said.
