18. Public Consultation on Safeboards StandardsNCCF_GB Meeting18Public consultations is a way for improvisation of draft standards before finalization irrespective of stakeholders’ involvement. It takes into account feedback of public at large, and in turn helps as a tool for information dissemination. The provisional Zero Draft Standards (NCCF-STD-SBCS-V0.3/2021) were uploaded on NCCF's website for 60-days for Public Consultations [Consultations Period: February 5, 2021 till April 6, 2021]Comments received during Public Consultation“BIS is using 13745 testing method (perforator with titration) and Safeboards is using chamber method. I think both organizations need to be on the same platform to avoid confusion in the local market.”- By Mr. B S Sabherwal, Century Plyboards India Ltd.
