NEW DELHI: Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan on Friday said imported toys will be allowed to enter India only after complying with the mandatory quality norms from September 1 onwards.
The Gvernment is in the process of making quality standards mandatory for 371 tariff lines ranging from steel, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and electrical machinery to furniture to check shipments of sub-standard and non-essential goods, including from China.
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the Gvernment’s nodal agency that frames quality standards in coordination with the concerned ministries.
“The mandatory quality control standard (QCS) for toys will be implemented from September 1 onwards. BIS staff will be deployed at major ports to take the sample and test the product for quality,” Paswan told reporters. (AGENCIES)
