Compression of Schedule M To Proposed Schedule M: Part I-A
Compression of Schedule M To Proposed Schedule M: Part I-A
The objective behind the revision of Schedule M is the harmonization of quality standards with current global
regulatory requirements.
The harmonization is similar to the requirements of PIC/s standards.
This will help many small and medium companies to compete in export markets, regulated markets.
This new version is designed on a risk-based approach methodology where more emphasis is given to the Quality
Risk Management principles and assessments.
