Notification for amendment in Quality control order for three chemicals viz i Methylene Chloride Dichloromethane ii 3 N N Di ethyl Aminophenol and iii Red phosphorus
## Report on Quality Control Orders for Chemicals and Red Phosphorus
**1. Executive Summary:**
This report analyzes three new Quality Control Orders (QCOs) issued by the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, Government of India. These orders, effective 181 days after publication on May 27, 2021, mandate conformity to specific Indian Standards (IS) and the use of the Standard Mark for N,N-DiEthyl Aminophenol, Methylene Chloride Dichloromethane, and Red Phosphorus, excluding those intended for export. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is designated as the certifying and enforcing authority. The purpose of these QCOs is to ensure the quality and safety of these chemicals within the Indian market. Non-compliance will result in penalties as per the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016.
**2. Introduction:**
This report provides an overview and analysis of three new Quality Control Orders pertaining to N,N-DiEthyl Aminophenol, Methylene Chloride Dichloromethane, and Red Phosphorus, based on the official gazette notification issued on May 25, 2021. The aim is to inform affected industries about the key requirements and implications of these orders.
**3. Policy Overview:**
These are new policies, not amendments to existing ones.
* **Core Objective(s):** Based on the text, the core objective of these Quality Control Orders is to ensure the quality and conformity of N,N-DiEthyl Aminophenol, Methylene Chloride Dichloromethane, and Red Phosphorus manufactured and sold in India to the relevant Indian Standards. This objective is enforced through mandatory certification and the use of the Standard Mark under a license from BIS.
**4. Background and Rationale:**
As these are new policies, the likely problem they address, inferred from the text and the nature of Quality Control Orders, is the need to regulate the quality of chemicals within the Indian market to safeguard public and industrial safety, ensure fair trade practices, and promote consumer confidence. The government deems it necessary or expedient in the public interest to implement these quality control measures.
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**
Since these are new policies, this section details the main components, rules, and actions mandated by the provided text.
* **Mandatory Conformity to Standards:** All N,N-DiEthyl Aminophenol, Methylene Chloride Dichloromethane, and Red Phosphorus manufactured and sold in India (excluding exports) must conform to their respective Indian Standards.
* N,N-DiEthyl Aminophenol must conform to IS 7686:2020 - Specification for 3N, NDiEthyl Aminophenol Specification.
* Methylene Chloride Dichloromethane must conform to IS 4566:2020 - Specification for Methylene Chloride Dichloromethane Technical.
* Red Phosphorus must conform to IS 2012:2006, Reaffirmed 2016 - Red Phosphorus Specification.
* **Compulsory Use of Standard Mark:** The specified goods/articles must bear the Standard Mark under a license from the Bureau as per Scheme I of Schedule II of the Bureau of Indian Standards Conformity Assessment Regulations, 2018.
* **Certification and Enforcement Authority:** The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the designated certifying and enforcing authority.
* **Penalties for Contravention:** Any person who violates the provisions of these orders is subject to penalties under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016.
* **Effective Date:** The orders come into force on the one hundred and eighty first day from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette (May 27, 2021).
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
Based on the provided text, the target audience and stakeholders directly affected by these policies are:
* Manufacturers of N,N-DiEthyl Aminophenol in India (excluding those solely for export purposes).
* Manufacturers of Methylene Chloride Dichloromethane in India (excluding those solely for export purposes).
* Manufacturers of Red Phosphorus in India (excluding those solely for export purposes).
* Importers of these chemicals into India.
* Users/consumers of these chemicals.
* The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency/Bodies:** The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is responsible for certification and enforcement.
* **Timelines:** The orders come into force 181 days after publication in the Official Gazette (May 27, 2021). This provides a transition period for manufacturers to comply.
* **Procedures:** Manufacturers must obtain a license from BIS to use the Standard Mark, adhering to Scheme I of Schedule II of the Bureau of Indian Standards Conformity Assessment Regulations, 2018. This likely involves testing, inspection, and quality management system audits by BIS.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
The likely intended outcomes based on the policy's stated provisions in the text are:
* Improved quality and safety of N,N-DiEthyl Aminophenol, Methylene Chloride Dichloromethane, and Red Phosphorus available in the Indian market.
* Reduced risk of substandard products being sold.
* Increased consumer confidence in the quality of these chemicals.
* Enhanced competitiveness of Indian manufacturers who comply with the standards.
* Greater alignment with international quality standards.
**9. Conclusion:**
The three Quality Control Orders for N,N-DiEthyl Aminophenol, Methylene Chloride Dichloromethane, and Red Phosphorus are significant regulatory measures designed to ensure the quality and safety of these chemicals in the Indian market. By mandating conformity to Indian Standards and the use of the Standard Mark, these orders aim to protect consumers, promote fair trade, and enhance the overall quality of the chemical industry. Affected industries should take note of the stipulated timelines and requirements to ensure compliance and avoid potential penalties.
