QCO Services for the Indian Market

Quality Control Orders (QCOs) are becoming increasingly significant for businesses involved in manufacturing, importing, or selling various products. QCOs, mandated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, are designed to ensure that products meet the specified safety, quality, and performance standards before they enter the market. Failing to comply with QCOs can result in severe consequences, including product recalls, financial penalties, and loss of market access.

 

Understanding Quality Control Orders (QCOs)

QCOs are legally binding orders issued by the Indian government that require certain products to conform to Indian standards as specified by BIS. These standards cover a wide range of products, including:

 

• Steel and Steel Products: Various steel grades, pipes, and tubes.

• Electronics and IT Equipment: Including smartphones, laptops, and other consumer electronics.

• Chemical Products: Industrial chemicals, fertilizers, and more.

• Textiles and Apparel: Fabrics, yarns, and related materials.

 

Why Compliance with QCOs is Essential

2. Market Access: Products that do not comply with QCOs cannot be legally sold in India. For manufacturers and importers, QCO compliance is essential for accessing and thriving in the Indian market.

BIS Registration for Products under CRS

 

For businesses operating in India, one of the most critical compliance certifications is the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) registration, especially for products covered under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS).

 

What is BIS Registration under CRS?

The BIS registration under the CRS is a mandatory certification for a wide range of products before they can be sold in the Indian market. The primary aim of this registration is to ensure that products meet specific safety, quality, and performance standards, thereby protecting consumers from substandard or hazardous products.

 

The list of products under CRS is extensive, including electronics, IT equipment, household appliances, and various other consumer goods.

 

Why is BIS Registration Crucial for Your Business?

 

1. Legal Compliance : BIS registration is not just a regulatory formality rather it is a legal requirement that must be adhered to by manufacturers, importers, and sellers alike.

 

2. Consumer Trust and Confidence: This certification can significantly enhance your brand's reputation and increase consumer trust, leading to higher sales and customer loyalty.

 

3. Market Access and Growth: Without BIS Registration , your products cannot be legally sold in India, limiting your market reach.

 

 

The Process of Obtaining BIS Registration

 

The process of obtaining BIS registration for products under CRS can be complex and time-consuming, often involving multiple stages of testing, documentation, and verification. However, the benefits far outweigh the effort involved.

 

1. Application Submission: The first step is to submit an application to BIS, along with the necessary documents and product samples.

 

2. Product Testing: The product samples are then tested in BIS-recognized laboratories to ensure they meet the specified standards.

 

3. Grant of License: Upon successful completion of testing and verification, BIS grants a license, allowing the product to be marked with the ISI mark, indicating compliance.

To know Fair Market Value of Plant Machine & Equipment

 

 

As per the International Valuation Standards,    Market Value is the estimated amount for which an asset should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where each party had acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

 

Valuation for Impairment Loss

An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. An impaired asset is a company's asset that has a market price less than the value listed on the company's balance sheet.

 

For Revaluation of Assets

In Revaluation model, the fair value of plant , machinery and equipment is measured and reliably carried , being its fair value at the date of the revaluation deducting any subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Revaluations are usually  made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting period. 

 

Valuation for Transfer Pricing Audit Purpose

Transfer pricing refers to the methods for pricing transactions within the  enterprises under common ownership or control. Because of the potential for cross-border controlled transactions to distort taxable income, tax authorities in many countries can adjust intragroup transfer prices that differ from what would have been charged by unrelated enterprises dealing at arm’s length.

 

Valuation of Capital Goods viz machines and equipments are sought by the Tax Auditors to know the anticipated value of assets for the Transfer Pricing audit purpose.

 

Valuation for Insurance

Valuation of assets is required for fixing of sum insured under fire and engineering class of business insurance policy . The valuation is generally provided on either of the  two methods: Indemnity basis or Reinstatement value basis as per the conditions of insurance policy.

 

 

Valuation for Disposal of Plant and Machines

Asset disposal is the act of selling an asset usually a long term asset that has been depreciated over its useful life like production equipment. When companies dispose their equipments, it gains a salvage value or residual value which can be a gain or a loss per the books.
