Govt notifies quality control orders for smart meters, welding rods and electrodes





The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, notified two new quality control orders (QCOs) for ‘smart meters’ and ‘welding rods and electrodes’, on July 14. The QCOs will come into force six months from the date of notification.

The smart meters (quality control) order, 2023 mandates compulsory certification under IS Standards for “AC static direct connected watt hour smart meter class 1 and 2” and “AC static transformer operated watthour and var-hour smart meters, class 0.2s, 0.5s, and 1.0s” for products manufactured for the domestic market or imported into India.


A smart meter is an electronic device that records information such as consumption of electric energy, voltage levels, current, and power factor. They share the information with the consumer for greater clarity on consumption behaviour and with electricity suppliers to help them with system monitoring and customer billing.

The welding rods and electrodes (quality control) order 2023 makes it compulsory to certify “covered electrodes for manual metal arc welding of carbon and carbon manganese steel”, and “welding rods and bare electrodes for gas shielded arc welding of structural steel”, under IS Standards, for both products manufactured for the domestic market and products imported into India
