Allow simpler playing field, toymakers plead to government

Mumbai, Sept 17 (UNI) Indian toymakers have requested for simpler norms for a mandatory BIS certification for the industry. Even as they received a four-month hiatus for the compulsory certification, they've called the measure a temporary fix and not a long-term solution.
In a bid to bring the Indian toy industry up to safety standards the ministry of commerce and industries had mandated all toymakers to gain a BIS certification for their operations. However, on September 1, when the policy was due to roll out, only two toymakers had received the accreditation, while 81 others were underway. The ministry has deferred the ruling by about four months, giving toymakers time to conform to standards and get the necessary certification.
The All India Toys Federation (AITF), which represents all Indian toy manufacturers, sellers, wholesalers and retailers, has been raising a voice against the Scheme I standards mandated in these norms.
"We request the Commerce and Industries ministries to think beyond merely extending the BIS window. Most of our toy manufacturers are small-scale producers who cannot afford to set up laboratories. We implore them to allow a Scheme II, where we will still adhere to the IS9873 standards but have a more painless process", said Rehan Dhorajiwala, spokesperson for AITF.
