The Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises, specifically the Department of Heavy Industry, Government of India, is committed to fostering a safe and quality-centric environment nationwide by issuing Quality Control Orders (QCOs) under the Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) framework. These orders regulate various goods imported into or manufactured within the country.
In line with this objective, a recent QCO has been issued to regulate “Performance Requirements and Methods of Tests for Wheels or Rims for Trucks and Buses”. This product falls under the mandatory BIS-ISI Mark certification scheme (Scheme-I of Schedule-II), making it imperative for manufacturers and importers to obtain a valid license by a specified deadline. Failure to comply will lead to the prohibition of importing, manufacturing, or selling these goods in the Indian market.
Certification plays a crucial role in ensuring that products meet specific quality and safety standards mandated by the government. Its implementation aims to safeguard consumers, promote standardization, uphold public health and safety, facilitate international trade, and stimulate economic development.
To achieve BIS certification, products must fully comply with all parameters outlined in the corresponding Indian Standard. This ensures that products meet stringent quality and safety requirements, bolstering consumer confidence and advancing industry standards.
