Since the Essential Requirements (ERs) for Security under CRO and Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order (PPP-MII) are same, thus, to bring in uniformity in the process for registration under CRO and PPP-MII Order, it is clarified that henceforth, STQC will issue the test report for Security as per the Essential Requirements (ERs) under CRO which would be applicable for compliance to PPP-MII. For clarity, the security certifications issued by STQC would have no linkages with the value additions requirement for the PPP-MII.

The above clarification is limited to Essential Requirements (ERs) for Security under CRO and PPP-MII only. All concerned are requested to proceed accordingly.
