Conformity Assessment Scheme (CAS) of milk products:
-
It is a unified, first of its kind certification scheme for dairy Products.
-
It has brought product and process certification under one umbrella with a unified logo featuring the earlier respective logos BIS-ISI mark & NDDB-Quality Mark and Kamdhenu Cow.
-
Why was it launched? NDDB and BIS have been involved in certification of Process and Products of Dairy Products respectively. However, there was no unified certification process. This was making it difficult for dairy plants to avail end to end certification.
-
Benefits of the scheme:
-
Simplify the certification process
-
Create an instantly recognisable logo for public to be reassured about dairy product quality
-
Increase the sales of milk and milk products in organized sector and in turn enhancing income of farmers
-
