Quality of Chinese Products
| Representative Picture |
All goods imported into India are subject to domestic laws,
rules, orders, regulations, technical specification, environment and safety
norms, that are notified from time to time. There is no proposal at present to
restrict imports of products, that otherwise satisfy the aforesaid conditions,
including meeting the prescribed technical standards.
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) formulates standards
applicable to domestic products and also mandates the use of Standard Marks
under a license which mutadis mutandis also apply to imported goods. Products
have been notified under compulsory certification/registration with one of the
objectives of checking influx of substandard products into Indian markets.
Presently, there are 109 products covered under Compulsory Product
Certification Scheme of BIS and 30 Electronic and IT Goods under Compulsory
Registration Scheme of BIS. Till now, 204 licensees have been issued to Chinese
manufacturers for Steel products, Electrical products, Tyres & Tubes etc.
as per Product Certification Scheme of BIS. Also, 4636 manufacturers have been
granted registrations for Electronic and IT Goods as per Compulsory
Registration Scheme of BIS. As member of WTO. India’s regulations apply to all
members equally.
