Manufacturing good quality and standardised products in India would help prevent flooding of domestic market with unsafe and sub-standard imports in the country, the commerce ministry today said.

It also said that the government and the industry need to work together for creating an ecosystem where adoption of appropriate standards leads to a sense of pride and has in- built incentive for the industry.

These issues will be discussed next week at a two-day standards conclave here.

Department of Commerce in collaboration with industry body CII, Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and the National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies (NABCB) is organising the fourth National Standards Conclave on May 1-2.

The conclave would also aim at preparing an Indian National Strategy for Standardisation (INSS) document to enable the development of a harmonised, dynamic, and mature standards ecosystem in India.

The objective of the conclave is to bring awareness and prepare industries, ministries, states, regulatory/standards setting & conformity assessment bodies on the growing importance of standards in the changing scenario of global trade, the ministry said in a statement.

A good standards regime would "help in preventing flooding of domestic market with unsafe/sub-standard imports at the expense of our domestic industry as well as consumers," it said.

"Our collective endeavour has to be in creating an ecosystem where adoption of appropriate standards leads to a sense of pride and has in-built incentive for the industry," it added.

The conclave, it said, is being held against the backdrop of diminishing importance of taxes and rising influence of standards and regulation both in goods and services trade.
