Group 1 - The Indian government has officially canceled the Quality Control Order (QCO) for 14 types of petrochemical products, including polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), to reduce compliance burdens on domestic manufacturers [1] - The cancellation of the BIS certification requirement for these products is deemed necessary for public interest, according to the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers [1] - The QCOs were initially introduced between 2021 and 2024, requiring manufacturers and importers to obtain BIS certification to sell products in the Indian market, which has been a non-tariff barrier hindering domestic industry development [1] Group 2 - A report indicates that most QCOs target raw materials and intermediate products rather than finished goods, with several new quality standards not aligning with international benchmarks [2] - The National Transformation Committee's expert group has proposed the cancellation, suspension, or postponement of over 200 products' QCOs [2]
