6 Procedure to Obtain License

i. To obtain license application should be submitted, accompanying a cross cheque
of Rs.1000/= payable to the Director, SDC/PSQCA as an application fee for each
article, either to the SDC office at 39-Garden Road, Saddar, Karachi or SDC
Regional Office at Provisional Head Quarters.
ii. The receipt of the application shall be duly acknowledged by the SDC
Certification Marks Division.
iii. The application when received from the manufacturers shall be given a
Registration number after making necessary entry in the register maintained for
the purpose.
iv. The Certification Marks Division of SDC then prepare an Inspection Schedule
and send an Inspector with a copy of Application Form-1 to the factory
concerned for inspection and report

6.1 Preliminary Inspection

1. Verify the statement made in application.
2. Verify the laboratory facilities available for the quality test relating to the relevant
article/process.
3. Verify the test records of routine test and Inspection if Laboratory facilities
existing. In the absence of testing facilities what are the alternate arrangements
available for the control of the quality of the product.
4. Check up the quality of an article at various stages starting from raw material,

8
Regulatory Procedure GUIDE OF PAKISTAN STANDARDS & QUALITY CONTROL LICENSING REQUIREMENT

during processing, at the stage of final finish of the article.

5. Carry out tests within the factory to examine the capability of the manufacturing
unit if they are in a position to meet the quality control requirements.
6. Draw random samples of the raw materials, intermediate, semi finished and
finished product for tests in the independent laboratories to examine the
effectiveness of the quality control process of the manufacturing unit. In case if
their quality control process found not effective then technical guidance is
provided to improve it.

6.2 General Sampling Procedure:

The random samples shall consist of three sets. The first Set bearing the seal of
the Inspector should be left with the manufacturing unit and second set also
bearing Inspector seal shall be sent by the manufacturing units for tests to
independent Laboratories as directed by the Inspector. The third set bearing the
seals of both the manufacturer and the Inspector shall constitute the reference
sample to be used in case of dispute and shall be under the custody of SDC.
6.3 Periodical Inspections:
SDC in addition to preliminary inspection shall also arrange at least two
periodical inspections of each license, besides taking random samples from open
market, go downs or otherwise for continuous checking the quality of the product
whether it may be sold in the open market or manufactured within the factory. By
these checks SDC ensures that the manufacturer may establish a set up quality
control system for the production of quality end products.

6.4 Laboratory Tests:

The laboratory shall be required to test the samples as per test sheet prepared by
SDC. For this purpose laboratories are also working under Quality Control Centre
(QCC) of PSQCA. The Head Office and main laboratories of this Centre are
located at Karachi with Branch Offices at Lahore, Peshawar and Quetta. The
laboratory concerned shall furnish the test report in test sheet within the specified
date. SDC shall retain one copy of the test report with them and send one copy of
the report to the manufacturer for information and in case sample fails to meet the
requirement of relevant PSS, for rectifying the defect. The laboratories shall under
intimation to the SDC send their bill of testing fee to the manufacturer concerned
who shall be required to make the necessary payment of testing fee to the
laboratories concerned (Schedule of testing fee is attached herewith).

 Regulatory Procedure GUIDE OF PAKISTAN STANDARDS & QUALITY CONTROL LICENSING REQUIREMENT

6.5 Grant of C.M. License:

On the recommendations of director, SDC shall issue C.M. License after having
satisfied itself with inspection and test reports from laboratory. When the license is
granted to a manufacturing unit, it shall be held responsible for proper use of the
Certification Marks.

6.6 Fees to Be Paid By Licensees:

i. Licensees will be required to pay annual license fee at the rate of Rs. 5000 /= per
year per license.
ii. Licensees are required to mark their products with PS Standard Mark as a token
that product conforms to the relevant PSS. The licensee is also required to pay
nominal marking fee on the quantum of annual production value.

under various sections could be punished by imprisonment to one year or fine of
Rs. 50,000/- or both.
