Quality Council of India (QCI) has taken an initiative to establish an independent third party voluntary RMC Plant Certification Scheme in the country to assure quality in operations and processes of RMC Plants.

In the era of huge infrastructure development in the country, the launch of this scheme will not only be very useful for the RMC manufacturing industry to benchmark itself with quality certifications but will also provide consumer the RMC produced in a quality certified RMC Plant. The RMC Plants Certification Scheme has two options for certification, one being RMC Capability Certification and other being Capability Certification, the later ensuring compliance to the requirements of ISO 9001 also in addition to the QCI Scheme requirements.
