Ayurveda Certification requirement
For a product to be certified as ayurvedic, it has to be screened through quality verifications set by Quality Council of India (QCI), an autonomous body set up by the government and the Indian industry.
QCI renders ayurvedic products with ‘premium’ and ‘standard’ quality labels that comply with international or national guidelines respectively. These are also known as AYUSH Premium Mark and AYUSH Standards Mark.
Ranging from capsules, shampoos, oils and syrups, only seven manufacturing companies carry this distinction in India, contrary to the information that various misinforming advertisements circulate across televisions and radios.
Ayurvedic drugs, on the other hand are regulated under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 by the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI). To formulate a standardised and centralised system across India, DCGI is assisted by statutory bodies like Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani Drugs Technical Advisory Board (ASUDTAB) and Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani Drugs Consultative Committee (ASUDCC).
For medicinal drugs to have ayurvedic certification, they need to be issued the Certificate of Pharmaceutical Products (CoPP) for Ayurveda product by DCGI.
So next time you see a commodity being hyped as ayurvedic product, you can check for actual accreditation rather than falling prey to the enamouring and bamboozling advertisements by various brands. more

How a villagers know these regulatory body's function. If some company or person not follow these certification process, What is the consequence? Who need to ensure ? Again it comes to common mans hand. Common man gives tax to the Govt, So that govt pay their salary. Again his role that to ensure that certification available on their GST product. If not give complain for violation. If issue is not get media hype, Company give bribe and go. Common man with Empty handed. Quality product should reach in market. Don't know whose responsibility is this ? more

"Caution Rattles" contained in Mr Chopra's post really need to come more often to shake us out of the slumber of trust. We've been buying Ayurvedic medicines from one shop since years "with trusting and closed eyes". Today I checked only to realise that many of the medicines do not contain the FSSAI stamp. more

QCI, an institute, offers certification, perhaps not framing or verifying quality standard. It needs a thorough laboratory analysis of product on various aspects by the experts group. I couldn't rember whether QCI has empanelled such professionals/ laboratories for this work. As such it's an institution of high repute for ISO 7 other certification. more
