Quality Certification

Quality certification has become extremely important in competitive markets and especially in gaining foothold in exports. To avail the certification of ISO-9000, a unit has to undertake significant costs; the small scale industries have been found wanting mainly on account of resource crunch to implement quality systems to obtain this certification. However, as a paradigm shift, MSME must make 'Quality' a way of life.

It has been decided to push the quality upgradation programme in the MSME Sector in a big way.

A scheme has been launched to give financial incentive to those MSME units who acquire ISO-9000 certification, by reimbursing 75% of their costs of obtaining certification, subject to a maximum of Rs. 0.75 lacs per unit.

In order to promote modernisation and technology upgradation in MSME, the units are assisted in improving the quality of their products.

A new scheme has been launched to assist MSME units in obtaining ISO-9000 or an equivalent international quality standard. Subject to an upper ceiling of Rs. 075 lacs, each unit is given financial assistance equal to 75% of the costs incurred in acquiring the quality standard.

The MSME units are also encouraged to participate in quality awareness and learning programmes organised specially for their benefit.
