Centre has exempted 'Handicraft, GI Toys' from quality control order.
The
development comes after Department for Promotion of Industry and
Internal Trade (DPIIT) released the Toys (Quality Control) Second
Amendment Order, 2020.
Subsequently, the order exempts goods
manufactured and sold by artisans registered with "Development
Commissioner' (Handicrafts), from use of 'Standard Mark under licence
from Bureau of Indian Standards, as per Scheme1 of Schedule-II of BIS
(Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018".
"The 'Amendment
Order 2020', also exempts products registered as 'Geographical
Indications' from following 'Indian Toy Standards' and compulsory use of
Standard Mark licence from Bureau as per Scheme 1 of Schedule-II of
BIS(CA) Regulations, 2018," the Ministry of Commerce and Industry said
in a statement on Saturday.
"The Gazette notification issued by
the department says that "nothing in this Order shall apply to goods or
articles manufactured and sold by Registered proprietor and Authorised
user of a product registered as Geographical Indication by the Registrar
of Geographical Indications, Office of Controller General of Patents,
Designs and Trademarks (CGPDTM)."
The DPIIT has devised a
comprehensive action plan with steps being taken to boost production and
sale of indigenous toys across the country.
The 'Quality
Control' order was issued by the Department for standardisation and
quality adherence of Toys. It will come into effect from January 1st,
2021.
"This order aims to bring forward the synergized efforts of
the GoI, states and the stakeholders to promote 'Team up for toys'
vision keeping quality standards of the indigenous toys as the
priority."
