The QCO for gloves is expected to regulate the imports of gloves worth ₹600-700 crore and ensure that only BIS-certified gloves, imported or domestically manufactured, can be sold for medical use in India. The order is applicable to disposable surgical gloves, single-use medical examination gloves, and post-mortem rubber gloves, preventing bulk imports of substandard gloves and ensuring only ISI-marked gloves are permitted for hospital use.
