Annex- B
Scheme of Inspection And Testing

1. LABORATORY - A laboratory shall be maintained which shall be suitably equipped (as per the
requirement given in column 2 of Table 1) and staffed, where different tests given in the specification
shall be carried out in accordance with the methods given in the specification.
1.1The manufacturer shall prepare a calibration plan for the test equipments.

2. TEST RECORDS –The manufacturer shall maintain test records for the tests carried out to establish
conformity.

3. PACKING AND MARKING–The Standard Mark, as given in the Schedule of the license shall be printed
on each container and on the label applied to the container; provided always that the material in each
container on which this Mark is thus applied conforms to every requirement of the specification.

3.1 Packing and Marking shall be done as per the requirements of the standard. In addition, the
following details shall be marked on labels affixed to each container:
i) Licence No. (CM/L……………)
ii) BIS website details: ‘For BIS certification details please visit www.bis.gov.in’ .

4. CONTROL UNIT – For the purpose of this scheme, the entire quantity of the product produced in a
batch mixer at a time shall constitute a control unit.

5. LEVELS OF CONTROL- The test and inspection as indicated in Table 1 and at the levels of control
specified therein,shall be carried out on the whole production of the factory which is covered by this
Scheme of testing and appropriate records and charts maintained in accordance with paragraph 2
above.

5.1 All the production which conforms to the Indian Standard and covered by this license shall be
marked with the BISStandard Mark.

6. REJECTIONS– Disposal of non-conforming product shall be done in such a way so as to ensure that
there is no violation of provisions of BIS Act, 2016 and shall be made as per relevant provisions of the
extant law for disposal of such products. A separate record shall be maintained giving information on
quantity and control unit number, relating to all such rejections/defective/sub-standard material of the
production not conforming to the requirements of the Specification and the method of its disposal.
Such material shall in no case be stored together with that conforming to the Specification. The
Standard Mark (if already applied) on rejected material should be defaced.
