basic information
The acquisition of this certification requires an audit of the manufacturing facility by the regulatory inspector. However, at this time, due to the large number of items subject to certification, it has been pointed out that there is a significant risk of delays in the authorities' responses to certification applications, and many inquiries have been received from manufacturers and companies considering entering the Indian market. Although this notification has provided a one-year grace period, the basic enforcement policy by the authorities has not changed, and companies will continue to be required to take measures towards obtaining certification.
