New Delhi, Dec 20 (PTI) India is looking to bring as many as 50 products such as aluminium, copper items, and household electrical appliances under the quality norms by the second quarter of 2023-24, a move aimed at containing import of the sub-standard goods and boost domestic industry.
According to a communication of the department for promotion of industry and internal trade (DPIIT), it is continuously engaged with BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) and concerned stakeholders for identification of products for which quality control orders (QCOs) could be issued.
The items, under these orders, cannot be produced, sold/traded, imported and stocked unless they bear the BIS mark.
