What is STQC Certification?
Framework Definition
STQC (Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification) is a quality assurance framework developed by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. It plays a crucial role in ensuring high standards of quality, safety, and performance in the IT and electronics sectors.
Focus Areas
Quality
High standards of product quality
Safety
Comprehensive safety assurance
Performance
Optimal performance standards
Critical Importance in Security & Surveillance
STQC certification is particularly crucial for industries like security and surveillance, where imported products have, in some cases, been found to pose risks, including incidents in sensitive or confidential government locations.
These concerns have highlighted the need for dependable, compliant, and secure systems.
Government Initiatives Alignment
"To address these risks and promote the use of reliable, secure, and locally manufactured technology, the Government of India has aligned quality assurance mechanisms like STQC certification with national initiatives such as Make in India and the PPP-MII Order 2017."
Make in India
Supporting local manufacturing and reducing dependency on imports
PPP-MII Order 2017
Public Procurement Policy for Make in India ensuring secure procurement
Key Benefits
STQC's Role in Supporting the Make in India Initiative
Government Initiative
To encourage domestic manufacturing and promote the Make in India initiative, the Government issued the Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order, 2017 (PPP-MII), overseen by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).

STQC Alignment with Make in India
In alignment with this, MeitY has mandated specific requirements under STQC for products like Video Surveillance Systems (VSS). These requirements help determine the local content in a product, an important eligibility factor for participating in government tenders.
Video Surveillance Systems (VSS)
Special focus on VSS products with mandatory local content requirements
Key Requirements under the Scheme
Self-Declaration Requirement
At the time of bidding or tendering, suppliers must submit a self-declaration stating that their product meets the minimum required local content percentage.
Location Disclosure
They must also disclose the location(s) of local value addition (where manufacturing, assembly, or other processes were carried out in India).
Procurement Process
Submit Declaration
Self-declaration of local content percentage
Disclose Locations
Locations of manufacturing and assembly
Tender Eligibility
Qualification for government procurement
Framework Benefits
This framework, under the STQC and PPP-MII alignment, ensures that only compliant, quality-assured, and locally supported products are considered for government procurement, promoting both product quality and domestic industry growth.
