becomes one of Asia Pacific’s fastest growing economies,
charting a seven per cent annual growth. A versatile and highly
educated workforce at competitive costs has been its advantage
and that has won India the reputation as a global manufacturing
and outsourcing hub.
With confidence in production capabilities in place, manufacturers
are ready to foray into the global market with quality and
cost competitiveness. As demonstrating safety compliance is
not only essential but also adds to the product’s marketability,
more and more manufacturers are looking for testing and certification
services from reputable third-party organizations.
In most cases, large US and European buyers would specify
a trustworthy certification provider to address compliance
needs before entering into outsourcing agreements with their
suppliers in India.
