Government Introduces Risk-Based Scheme to Ease Quality Control Compliance for Manufacturers
The Indian government has introduced a risk-based transition scheme easing compliance with quality control orders (QCOs) for sectors including toys, air conditioners, furniture, and personal protective equipment. This five-year arrangement allows manufacturers to use an alternative licensing system based on self-declaration of standards, aiming to maintain quality while reducing production disruptions. The scheme supports flexible sourcing, especially for imports, and requires demonstrated technical capability and compliance history for participation.
