2.1 Saarc countries to harmonize standards to boost trade

In an attempt to boost trade in the South Asian region, members of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) are finalizing mutually acceptable standards in products in five sectors with significant trade interest for member countries. Divergence in standards is considered a major non-tariff barrier for trade not picking up in the region. Chandan Bahl, head of international relations department in the Bureau of Indian Standards, said the idea is to identify products and try to harmonize national standards into a distinctive Saarc standard which has to be mandatorily followed by all member countries. “The work in this direction has already been started. Some products have been identified where technical committees are meeting and discussing to harmonize standards. They have to go back to the stakeholders who will vet it with their own national standards and get it ratified by their respective countries. It has to be unanimous decision of all members,” Bahl added.

On the certification side, countries are developing a mutual recognition agreement (MRA) on quality assessment, whereby they would be able to utilize each other’s certification bodies so that most of the certification takes place in the country of origin of the product without depending on the certification of the destination country.

2.2 BIS to set up five labs in 2016 to augment product testing facility

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) will set up five new laboratories by next year in order to augment product testing infrastructure in the country. To ensure better compliance of standards, the ministry of consumer affairs, food & public distribution has directed BIS to set up new laboratories in a phased manner. Apart from augmenting infrastructure in the testing labs at Guwahati and Patna, five new labs would be set up by March, 2016. Based on the requirements, four new labs may be set up every year afterwards, said Ram Vilas Paswan, ministry of consumer affairs, food & public distribution ministry. The authority will also develop standards for solid waste management to give a push to 'Make in India' campaign. Read More

2.3 New and existing licenses to become 10 digits from current 7 digits

BIS released a notification on 28/10/2014 asking new and existing licenses to become 10 digits from current 7 digits. BIS has now withdrawn clauses clause 2(iii) and 4 of this earlier notification related to migration of 7 digits to 10 digits by May’2015. Which means only new application will be processed with 10 digit licensing. For more information please click here

2.4 BIS to develop an product certification system on par with international standards

The government plans to amend the Consumer Protection Act to make the redressal mechanism easy and universally accessible, Consumer Affairs, Food and Civil Supplies Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said here today. A broad based consumer protection authority which would be empowered to take suo moto action against violating companies would be set up, Paswan said at a review meeting of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) here. The government would broad base the consumer redress mechanism by inducting people from different walks of life, besides those from judicial and legal backgrounds, he added. Lashing out at companies which resort to misleading advertisements, he said that the government has set up an inter-ministerial committee, with representatives from the Information & Broadcasting Ministry as well as the Health and Family Welfare Ministry, to look into the matter. He urged the BIS to undertake a massive consumer awareness programme, especially in regional languages. He also mentioned the use of social media to spread consumer awareness. Paswan called upon BIS to develop an excellent product certification system on par with international standards in order to make Indian goods acceptable worldwide, adding that this is a pre-requisite for the ambitious 'Make In India' campaign to succeed. The BIS has formulated 19,000 standards out of which 6,000 are internationally comparable. BIS certifies 933 products with an ISI mark. At present, ISI certification is compulsory for 123 products, but the minister said that the number of certified products would need to increase. Source: Business Standards

3.1 TSDI – ETSI Co-operation agreement

Co-operation (CA) agreement between ETSI and TSDSI is finalized, ETSI Board has approved it, and is now pending for GA approval [planned for approval electronically] and possible closure at the side-line of the 3GPP PCG meeting (28-29 of April 2015) when TSDSI representation is expected to be present.

3.2 TSDSI IPR policy

ETSI suggested changes as summarized below are yet to be addressed by TSDSI IPR WG. WG plan to take up further discussion on this in their next WG meetings yet to be scheduled. The main points of discussion are;

- A definition of ‘Affiliate’ is missing in TSDSI IPR Policy. Definition of AFFILIATE used in ETSI is as per article 15 (1) of the ETSI IPR Policy: http://www.etsi.org/images/files/IPR/etsi-ipr-policy.pdf

- Clause 5.4 of the IPR Policy does not really make sense if it is not interrelated with the concept of “Patent Family”. Clause 5.4 of TSDSI IPR Policy shall be aligned with a provision of section 6.2 of the ETSI IPR Policy, and include a definition of Patent Family” as per the definition described in article 15 (13) of the ETSI IPR Policy while noting that in ETSI IPR Policy, provisions related to the concept of PATENT FAMILY are covered in sections 4.3, 6.2 and Appendix A (IPR Licensing Declaration Forms).

5 | P a g e

- In the last page of the TSDSI IPR Policy on IPR Licensing Declaration, there seems to be a typo: “Clause 4.1” should be replaced by “Clause 5.1”.

3.3 TSDSI – oneM2M membership TSDSI membership request to become a Partner Type 1 in oneM2M Partnership Project has been approval, which bring TSDSI on the same level as ARIB, ATIS, CCSA, ETSI, TIA, TTA, and TTC.

4. Smart Cities

Basis discussion and agreement in SC#7 meeting: SESEI will work and monitor activities on Horizontal topic of Smart Cities in India. First update on this is as below;

4.1 Concept Node – Smart Cities in India

In the Union Budget 2014-15, the Government of India had announced a project to develop “One Hundred Smart Cities” as satellite towns of larger cities and by modernizing the existing mid-sized cities in the country. The Ministry of Urban Development, Govt. of India which is the nodal Ministry for this project called SMART CITIES in India has come out with a CONCEPT NOTE. Read More

4.2 New urban planning guidelines released

Seeking a paradigm shift in urban development planning, the central government has urged the states and urban local bodies to identify urban development needs and priorities through ‘citizen participation’ in decision making. Read More

4.3 Visit of CEN-CENELEC-ETSI SSCC-CG member and EU Expert Mr Michael Mulquin

SESEI organized a meeting with BIS senior officials including DG BIS, Head of Standardization during the visit of CEN-CENELEC-ETSI SSCC-CG member and EU Expert Mr Michael Mulquin.

Mr. Mulquin shared updates on Standards activity progress at global platforms, EU and at SSCC-CG. One key point highlighted during this meeting was that CEN/CENELEC/ETSI have set a great example to the International standards bodies in setting up a joint coordinating group to ensure that all the many different standards areas relating to smart cities could be tackled in a consistent and joined-up way, which followed a wide ranging discussion about how the Bureau of Indian Standards could both ensure that India is able to contribute in the most effective way to the International work in this area and also to benefit from the wider global experience.

6 | P a g e

A recommendation to BIS was that they shall set up a similar kind of coordinating group, bringing together the various interests related to smart cities to help manage this process within India.

SESEI already brokered meetings for Mr. Michael with key people in India Smart Grid forum (ISGF) and National Institute of Urban Affairs (niua) to talk through these ideas. ISGF and niua will meet with BIS over the next few weeks to discuss the development of smart city standards. SESEI has been instrumental in encouraging both the beginnings of effective standards work within India and a clear sense of the value addition that connects CEN/CENELEC/ETSI with Smart City standard development in India and vice a versa.

SESEI also used this opportunity to get Mr. Michael moderate a session at the M2M/IoT forum 2015 event which was a great opportunity to demonstrate the value of the European perspective to the exciting and important work going on in India.

4.4 Smart City Standards work at BIS

BIS has established a Sectional Committee on Smart Cities, CED 59, 1st Preliminary meetings was conducted on 2nd March 2015 under their Civil Engineering Divisional Council with Dr. Sudhir Krishna (Retired secretary from Ministry of Urban Development) as its first Chairman. This sectional committee on smart cities will develop standards which will be the torch bearer and guide all concerned stakeholders to develop smart cities. India also has an important role to play globally. Mr. J. C Arora, officiating Deputy Director General (Standardization), BIS in his introductory note, informed that this would be a brain storming session to find out members who could contribute to the sectional committee.

7 | P a g e

This sectional committee will identify smart city components/elements and develop guidelines for suitable implementation. This sectional committee is not confined to civil engineering or any one field but is a multidisciplinary one. He informed that as per the prevailing trend, statistically, by 2030, around 40% of our country's population will be in urban area and by 2050; it will be around 50%. City living is the best solution for better living of the increasing population and urban infrastructure needs to be improved and maintained to cater to the demand. Infrastructure includes water supply, sanitation, drainage, waste management, electric power, health care, education, security, ICT, transport etc. It also includes economic infrastructure. Smart cities should be self-sustaining and secured and all these will form parameters for sustainable growth. Smartness may vary and needs to be analyzed and implemented intelligently. This committee to find the standardization needs finalize the way forward and formulate scope to establish national standards.

Mr. M. J. Joseph, Director General, BIS addressing the meeting advised that the concept of smart cities being a multi-disciplinary one, Chairmen of other concerned divisional councils / sectional committees are to be invited and briefed about the process in CED 59. The works done globally by various organizations like ISO, IEC also needs to be taken into account. ISO 37120:2014, Sustainable development of communities -- Indicators for city services and quality of life has been formulated which could form basics of smart cities. He suggested that the committee may start with terminologies developed by other standards bodies and think of adopting those and also make suitable changes for our national scenario.

2nd follow-up meeting was held on 13th March, ISO 37120:2014 is agreed to be studied from an Indian content and develop/adopt the standard accordingly.

Draft regulated by Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission for Goa and Union Territories, peak tariff will be 20%-30% higher than normal and off-peak 15%-20% lower than normal if the system is implemented. The UT engineering wing has appointed a consultant for designing the framework. The control period will be from April 1, 2015, till March 31, 2018. Under the new system, slabs will be time-based and have different tariffs, unlike the current method where slabs are based on units used by the consumer. "There will most probably be three slabs, normal, peak and off-peak. Normal hour slab will be time of day when normal units are used, peak hour will be time when maximum load will be there and off-peak the time when load is minimal. Read More
