Withdrawn QCO for Petrochemical & Polymer Products
The Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers has recently issued multiple Gazette notifications announcing the withdrawal of Quality Control Orders (QCOs) for a specific list of petrochemical and polymer products. This announcement has created significant interest among manufacturers, importers, and industrial stakeholders, as QCOs directly impact production processes, imports, compliance costs, and market operations.
It is important to highlight that this withdrawal is limited only to certain identified products and does not dilute or impact the overall QCO framework that continues to be implemented across other ministries such as BIS, DPIIT, Ministry of Steel, Ministry of Textiles, and others.
Understanding the Context of QCO Withdrawal
India has been actively strengthening its quality ecosystem by bringing several commodities under mandatory certification through QCOs. These orders ensure that products meet Indian Standards and carry the BIS Standard Mark before they can be manufactured, imported, or sold in the Indian market.
However, after industry feedback, supply chain assessments, and consultation with stakeholders, the government periodically reviews these orders. In the latest development, specific QCOs related to petrochemical and polymer products have been rescinded, meaning the listed items are no longer subject to mandatory BIS certification.
This move is expected to provide industry relief, reduce compliance burdens, and ensure smooth availability of raw materials for downstream manufacturing sectors.
