Product Testing
Product certification scheme introduced in 1956 called for reliable testing of a wide variety of
products and raw materials for evaluating their conformity to the requirements laid down in
Indian Standards as required for continuous surveillance of the scheme. Initially services of
several independent laboratories in India were availed for the purpose. With rapid expansion
of the certification scheme, the need for expeditious testing of samples and for ensuring close
conformity to the testing procedures laid down in various Indian Standards was strongly felt
and the organization decided to have its own chain of laboratories mainly to cater to the needs
of Certification Marks Scheme.
