An ordinary steel screw used for making wooden furniture is certainly not a high-tech item.
After searching in the portal of a major on-line store, I purchased a packet of Made in India screws. To my dismay very few of them had the groove on the centre-line of the screw-head and for some of them, the groove was so shallow that the screw-driver slipped during work, damaging the woodwork.
The oversight under the National Standards Action Plan (SNAP) could not reach down to that Indian screw-maker tarnishing the Made in India brand on the portal of one of the largest on-line stores.
Clearly, user participation in the process by way of specific feedback from ground-level needs simplification.
The small manufacturers need not be apprehensive about the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and the SNAP. The plan envisages the BIS to act as a facilitator and not as a regulator. Their intervention will be beneficial to both the manufacturer and the user.
