 Quality Standards
 Standards or specifications of quality
are prerequisites of quality control
because unless quality characteristics
are assessed, specified and measured,
quality control cannot be implemented.
 Several goods are not allowed to be
exported out of India unless they
conform to specified standards.
 Methods of Quality
Control/Inspection
 In-process quality control
 Consignment inspection
 Export-worthy units
 Voluntary inspection certification
and schemes
 Role of Bureau Of Indian
Standards
 The Indian Standards Institution (ISI),
set up by Government of India in
1947 with the active support of
industrial, scientific and technical
organizations in the country later
renamed as Bureau of Indian
Standards, play a very important role in
quality control.
 Problems In Maintaining
Quality For Exports
 Lack of quality consciousness is a
serious problem.
 One of the major problems in adhering
to the quality levels required by the
importing country is the difficulty in
procurement
the right oftype of raw materials,
components etc., needed for specific
application.
 Drawbacks and inadequacies of facilities.
 Summary
 Because of poor quality products the
exporters need to confirm with ISO or
IEC standards depending upon the
situation.
 Process quality control and
consignment-wise inspection are the
two main methods of quality control.
The Bureau Of Indian
Standardsplay a very important role
in quality control.
