COMPULSORY QUALITY CONTROL

AND PRESHIPMENT INSPECTION

Under the Export (Quality Control and Inspection) act, 1963, about 1000 commodities under various groups are subject to compulsory pre-shipment inspection. At times, foreign buyers lay down their standards/specifications which may or may not be in consonance with Indian standards. They may also insist upon inspection by their own nominated agencies. These issues should be sorted out before order. Products having an ISI or Agmark are not required to be inspected by any Indian agency. Depending upon the nature of products, goods meant for exported are inspected for quality in the following manner:

–          Consignment to Consignment inspection: each individual consignment is inspected by the Export Inspection Agency, Commodity board and certificate of inspection is issued.

–          In process quality Control (IPQC): certain products like chemicals or engineering goods are subject to this control. The inspection is done at various stages of production. The exporter has to get his unit registered as “Export Worthy” and keep record of processing and production. Inspection by the officers of export inspection agency is done from time to time. The certificate of inspection on the end-products is then given without in-depth study at the shipment stage. The certificate of inspection in favor of the units approved under the schemes is issued by the Export Inspection Agencies (EIA’s) in the normal course. Units approved under this system of in process quality control may themselves issue the certificate of inspection, but only for the products for which they have been granted IPQC facilities

–          Self Certification Scheme: large manufacturers / exporters, export houses / trading houses are allowed the facility of Self Certification on the theory that the exporter himself is the best judge of the quality of his products and will now allow his reputation to be spoiled in the international market by compromising on quality. Such industrial units have to apply to the Director of inspection and quality control in the Export Inspection Council of India, and then they are granted a certificate valid for a period of one year, allowing them self certification facility. During this period the exporter can issue a certificate signed by himself or by a person authorized by him. The certificate has to indicate the number an date of EIA’s reference for registration under self registration scheme

–          Fumigation of Consignment: Export of commodities like deoiled rice bran, crushed bones, hooves and horns which are prone to insect infection in storage and transit are subjected to compulsory fumigation to ensure that the product reaches destination in sound condition.
