Conclusion
•
Standards Creation to catch up with Technology Development speed
•
Adoption of international standards as an interim measure till Indian
standards are formulated - will it aid or stunt growth
•
•
Mandatory
•
Guidelines till BIS standards come into existence
Use the 1st mover information to create standards
•
Involve the 1st Mover
•
Use product information from Market
•
Review periodically
• Application wise standards within each sub-segment
