IT SPECIFICALLY PERTAINS TO THE BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARDS QUALITY CONTROL ORDER (BIS QCO) FOR THE COPPER PRODUCTS (COPPER WIRE RODS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLICATIONS).
17th OCTOBER 2023
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, has introduced the Copper Products (Quality Control) Order, 2023, in New Delhi on October 17th, 2023. This order, which aims to safeguard the quality of copper products in the public interest, will come into effect six months from its publication in the Official Gazette.
The order named BIS QCO for the copper products (copper wire rods for electrical applications) mandates the compulsory use of the Standard Mark on goods specified in the Table, ensuring conformity to the corresponding Indian Standard. The certification and enforcement authority for these goods lie with the Bureau, and contravention of this order will result in penalties under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016.
According to BIS QCO for the copper products (copper wire rods for electrical applications) it is crucial to note that this order does not apply to goods manufactured domestically for export. Additionally, specific timelines for compliance are outlined for micro and small enterprises, providing a phased implementation approach. This initiative underscores the government's commitment to maintaining quality standards in the copper product industry for the benefit of consumers and the overall welfare of the public.
