Testing labs for IT products to be set up
2012-07-24The Government is likely to set up 15 new laboratories for testing hardware and software products. The labs would be set up under public private partnership (PPP) model. The Government will identify the locations for them soon. These labs claim to enable IT companies to register and test their products before selling it in the market. There are already five such laboratories under Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) in Delhi, Noida, Bangalore, Kolkata and Mumbai.
It is believed that this would be one of the components of the National Electronics Policy that will span and support innovative work here. Products will have to be registered first in these laboratories in compliance with the safety standards set by the Government.
The DeitY official shared that the laboratories would be part of Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification. The services include testing, calibration, IT and e-Governance, training and certification to public and private organisations.
