NEW DELHI: More pharmaceutical products can be brought under mandatory quality improvement norms if needed to comply with global standards for export from India if the health ministry issues an advice in this regard, a top official said.
Director General Foreign Trade (DGFT) Santosh Kumar Sarangi said on May 23 that all pharmaceutical products must meet global standards and quality requirements.
His remarks come a day after the Directorate General of Foreign Trade in a notification said cough syrup exporters will have to undertake testing of their products at specified government laboratories from June 1 before getting permission for the outbound shipments.
The direction came in the wake of quality concerns raised globally for cough syrups exported by Indian firms.
