which look after these things. The manufacturers are
bound by the :
- Environmental Regulations
- The factory act

The ceramic industry is blooming every day. So are
the standards of the industry. The universally accepted
quality standards are applicable to ceramic industry
as well. The ISO standards for the Quality are :
