The Centre has released a new quality control procedure for 145 steel products. The quality control regime (QCO), which included 111 goods ranging from stainless steel pipes and tubes to primary cells and battery parts, has been replaced, per a gazette notification. Most quality control orders, including those pertaining to steel wire specifications for staples, pins, and clips, are effective immediately.
It has been stated that any sub-standard or defective steel and steel products that do not conform to the specified standard shall be disposed of as scrap.
The QCO covers products such as Steel Chequered Plates, Mild steel for metal arc welding electrodes, and Mild steel wire rods for general engineering purposes.
Quality control on Galvanised Structural Steel is applicable three months from now. QCO on Hot-dip Zinc Coating on Structural Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement, Ferrochromium, and Silicomanganese is enforceable after six months.
In October last year, the Centre made the Steel Ministry’s nod mandatory for imports not cleared by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), a move aimed at a crackdown on substandard goods. It came after the BIS issued a quality control order for various steel products, and the Centre mandated importers to seek prior quality approval of import consignments for sale locally.
