India delays implementation of 'quality control order' for PVC and PP materials again
Time：
2025-07-07
India has once again delayed the implementation date of the mandatory Quality Control Order (QCO) for PVC and PP materials.
The Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals (DCPC) of India has recently issued two important announcements, delaying the implementation date of mandatory quality control orders (QCOs) for two chemicals. This move provides a crucial adaptation window for global suppliers, including Chinese manufacturers, but also highlights the increasingly strict compliance threshold for entering the Indian market.
The implementation dates for the two chemicals are as follows:
|
Goods or items |
Application |
Original implementation date | New implementation date |
|
Polypropylene (PP) materials used for molding and extrusion |
Widely used in packaging, automotive components, consumer goods, home appliances, and construction industries |
June 24, 2025 |
October 24, 2025 |
|
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) homopolymer |
Widely used in the pipeline, cable, non food packaging, medical equipment, and construction industries |
June 24, 2025 | December 24, 2025 |
DCPC emphasizes that once these quality control orders are officially implemented, manufacturers of these chemicals must apply for licenses from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and use standard markings on their products. It is worth noting that these commands do not apply to chemicals used only for export. All relevant manufacturers must comply with these new regulations, and any violation of the regulations will be subject to corresponding legal penalties under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act 2016 (BIS Act).
The QCO of PP and PVC adjusted this time is part of India's vast regulatory network. Currently, India has released over 105 QCOs covering more than 1000 chemical substances. The Indian government stated that the QCO system aims to fill regulatory loopholes, prevent low-quality products from entering the domestic market, ensure consumer safety, and promote healthy industrial development.
The delayed implementation of QCO this time provides a critical buffer time for Chinese PP and PVC export enterprises. Enterprises should promptly understand the certification requirements, processes, required documents, and fees, and submit applications as soon as possible to complete the certification using the buffer period. At the same time, it is necessary to understand the testing methods and quality requirements of the target product's corresponding standards, evaluate the differences between existing products and standards, and make adjustments to ensure compliance. In addition, companies should pay attention to the expanding QCO coverage in India, closely monitor other chemicals that may be affected in the future, and enhance long-term competitiveness by improving product quality and optimizing the supply chain.
