After the sudden outbreak of COVID-19, there was a situation
where the number of patients has been increased to an extreme level, and there
was a shortage of sanitizers and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). And this
shortage of protective equipment was all over the world. As there was also
lockdown initiated all over India in the red zones, some of the industries and
manufacturers started to manufacture the medical equipment. So here in this
blog, we will discuss the essential factors associated with the manufacturing
of medical equipment such as the Personal Protective Equipment kits(PPE).
#What are the issues of India's PPE kits?
In the period of outbreak of COVID-19 and the initiation of
lockdown, many of the industries were forced to stop the working process in
their organization to reduce the infection. But some of the industries and
manufacturing plants started to produce medical equipment such as sanitizers
and the Personal Protective Equipment kits. To gain more profits, many of the
manufacturers entered this business as there was also a shortage of Personal
Protective Equipment. But the kits that were sold in the market don't meet the
safety of the human, and there was not a standard cost for them at that time.
To avoid these issues, SITRA started to inspect and test the PPE kits that were
sold in the market, and many of the samples of the personal protective kits
were failed in the test.
#What is SITRA and why its certification is essential?
SITRA stands for the South India Textile Research Association,
which is an organization that researches and tests the quality of material at
different stages of processing. SITRA is accredited by NABL(National
Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) that conforms and
complies with the ISO 17025 guidelines of laboratory accreditation. Hence the
reports of SITRA is valid in all the countries.
#Importance of SITRA Certification
As the SITRA organization tested samples of PPE kits, and
many of the samples were failed and did not meet the safety requirements, the
Government started to cease the fake organizations. The manufacturing
organization that was passed in the test were encouraged to produce more PPE kits
as there was a shortage of standard kits in the market. Hence to produce it,
the organization must be certified by SITRA Certification.
#How to get the SITRA Certification?
To get the SITRA Certification for your organization, you
have to test the samples of the Personal Protective kits from SITRA that are
produced by your organization. In this process of certification, first, you
have to submit the samples of Personal Protective kit to SITRA, and after
testing, they approve the organization. You can send your samples on
