- With the initiative of the Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Government of India, after extensive stakeholder consultation, a unified Conformity Assessment Scheme (CAS) was chalked out by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) with the help of NDDB (National Dairy Development Board).
- This is a novel and first of its kind certification scheme considering the perishable nature and short shelf-life of milk and milk products, as well as the extensive cold-chain involved in the production and supply of milk and milk products.
- This has brought ‘Product–Food Safety Management System–Process’ certification under one umbrella with a unified logo featuring the earlier respective logos BIS-ISI mark & NDDB-Quality Mark and Kamdhenu Cow.
The Conformity Assessment Scheme will
- Simplify the certification process
- Create an instantly recognisable logo for public to be reassured about dairy product quality
- Increase the sales of milk and milk products in organized sector and in turn enhancing income of farmers
- Develop a quality culture in the dairy sector
