FAQ — Portland / blended cement products
1. Is every cement type a separate licence?
Different standards/varieties can mean separate scopes. Map each product line.
2. How important is the plant lab?
Critical — Scheme I surveillance expects credible in-house testing discipline.
3. Can grinding units and packing units differ?
Licence addresses and process steps must match reality. Declare structure honestly.
4. Importer angle?
Cement imports face strict controls when QCOs apply — factory certification first.
Disclaimer: Scheme rules, Quality Control Orders, SABER lists and destination regulations change. Confirm the current notification and lab scope for your exact model before booking irreversible tests.
