Industries, Consumer Organizations and others for formulation of national
standards, which are analyzed and examined by the Screening Committee of BIS.
The Screening Committee decides taking into account the feasibility to prepare the
proposed standard in a technically and commercially acceptable form to achieve
national consensus on the subject by the target dates. The concerned Sectional
Committee of BIS then approves/ disapproves a new subject and concerned
Division Council’s concurrence is obtained.

2.4 LABORATORY TESTING AND DEVELOPMENT
2.4.1 Laboratory Testing
2.4.1.1 A network of eight BIS Laboratories has been set up to carry out conformity testing
of samples generated by the operation of product certification scheme of BIS. The
primary objective of the BIS laboratories is to provide service in evaluation of test
results in the minimum possible time. Secondary objective is to test high value
items so as to keep a low expenditure to income ratio, increasing range of testing
by modernization and upgradation as well as to provide training to the
industry/licensees on test methods on a limited basis.
2.4.1.2 All BIS laboratories are now issuing status reports giving their available capacity as
an immediate guide to regional/Branch offices for sending samples. This
information is also available on BIS intranet. This activity will help to utilize BIS
laboratories effectively.
2.4.2 Re-Working of Laboratory Recognition Scheme
2.4.2.1 60 outside laboratories have been granted recognition under the BIS Laboratory
recognition scheme. Beside this 43 laboratories of National repute are listed which
are also utilized for products for which test facility is not available in BIS
laboratories e.g. radiological test for packaged drinking water, equipment for mining
and automotive tyres etc. In principle BIS has decided to utilize those laboratories,
which are NABL accredited. Accordingly revision of Guidelines for laboratory
recognition scheme has been undertaken along with the proposal for payment of
testing charges, engagement of external expert for audit of laboratories, which will
be implemented in the year 2005-06.
9
2.4.3 Productivity Norms and Targets 2.4.3.1 The productivity of BIS laboratories depends upon the strength of technical person.
The sanctioned strength of testing personnel is 214. Due to constant depletion of
technical personnel because of retirement and some other reasons, the number of
direct testing personnel has been reduced to 134, which has affected productivity.
Laboratory Advisory Committee during its meeting, recommended that it would be
appropriate for the BIS Labs to follow the norms in terms of notional testing value
of Rs.25,000/- per person/per month against the additional norms of number of
samples tested per 100 mandays (discipline wise) as the norms of testing value
per person forms the basis of finding out the expenditure over income ratio. The
proposal is under active consideration and may likely to be implemented during
2005-06.
2.4.3.2 Against the productivity norm of Rs 25000/- per person per month (notional) based
on the current unit rate of Rs. 75/- per man-hour (fixed in 1993) BIS labs achieved
a figure of Rs 25835/- per person per month during 2003-04 against Rs.25673/- in
2002-03.
2.4.3.3 BIS labs would continue to provide training to the industry especially BIS licensees
and applicants as well as Central and State Govt. labs in testing of various
products as per relevant Indian Standards based on the needs of the industry and
request received.
2.4.4 Modernization And Upgradation of Test Facilities
2.4.4.1 During the year 2005-06 an estimated expenditure of Rs. 315 lakhs has been
planned for modernization of BIS labs, which include the purchase of the following
major equipments in the respective laboratories:

2.4.5 Computerization Project at BIS Labs
2.4.5.1 For computerization of laboratory activities and to provide efficient and transparent
services of laboratories, all BIS labs have procured number of computers and
accessories including furniture and effectively installed the computers . The
network created in laboratories would help installation of Laboratory Information
Management Systems (LIMS) for providing efficient services to the certification
departments.
2.4.6 Review Of Laboratory Activity
2.4.6.1 A study was made with the concept of notional income on account of testing
charges by taking the average testing charges of various products tested at the
existing market rate to assess the economics of BIS labs towards profit centre. A
report on this submitted for the information of the management is being reviewed
by a Committee.
2.4.7 Cooperation with NTH Labs
2.4.7.1 National Test House (Calcutta, Chennai, Jaipur, Mumbai and Ghaziabad), are
being utilized for testing of samples under BIS Certification Marks Scheme as per
the directive of Ministry. A policy decision would be taken for utilization of NTH labs
as most of these labs are not having NABL accreditation.
