<h1>DPIIT Enforces Quality Control Orders for Laminates and Insulated Containers, Mandating Certification to Boost Safety and Quality.</h1> The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has issued Quality Control Orders (QCOs) for resin-treated compressed wood laminates and insulated flasks, bottles, and containers for domestic use, effective six months from July 14, 2023. These QCOs mandate compulsory certification under Indian Standards for both domestic and imported products, aiming to enhance public health and safety. The initiative aligns with the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, focusing on improving manufacturing quality and curbing sub-standard imports. Violations of the BIS Act related to non-certified products can result in significant penalties. DPIIT is working with stakeholders to develop a comprehensive quality ecosystem.
