India Adjusts QCO Roadmap for Standards Alignment

India Adjusts QCO Roadmap for Standards Alignment

India has decided to change its plan for setting quality standards for products.

This is to make sure that the standards match what labs can handle and to make trade easier with other countries.

Some standards have been withdrawn to prevent problems in getting supplies, especially for things like clothes, paper, and small engineering products.

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is still making new standards, but the focus is on doing this in a smarter way.

This means they are not lowering the quality but making sure the standards are introduced at the right time.
