| Globalisation being the keyword, in,India is all set to meet the world challenge, especially in the Garments and Textile Industry, which forms an important and substantial component of India's exports. Product quality has been of prime concern to both buyers
and sellers in order to achieve increasing consumer satisfaction and to safeguard their reputation in the growing apparel and textile markets. In western markets, garments are statutorily required to carry labels indicating fibres and their contents, laundering instructions and many other specifications have to be strictly adhered to. Also quality is a major source of concern even to sellers, as they need to depend upon many sub-vendors who supply raw materials and products, thereby emphasising the need for strict quality control. |

| There has been an absence of a professional, fully equipped testing laboratory with latest equipments and fully trained competent technical manpower and functioning to the exacting standards of the western markets.
