Key Updates:
The amendment revises the implementation date of the Acetic Acid (Quality Control) Order, 2019. The revised sub-paragraph (2) now states:
Original Sub-paragraph (2): The order was set to come into force on the one hundred and eighty first day from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette.
Amended Sub-paragraph (2): “This order shall come into force on the 3rd August, 2025.”
Implications
- Extended Timeline: The new effective date of August 3, 2025, extends the period before the order’s provisions become mandatory. This gives stakeholders more time to prepare for compliance.
- Impact on Industry: Manufacturers, suppliers, and other industry players dealing with acetic acid should take note of the new timeline and adjust their plans accordingly to ensure they meet the quality control standards by the revised date.
- Regulatory Compliance: It’s important for all relevant parties to stay updated on further details and ensure they understand the full requirements of the Acetic Acid (Quality Control) Order, 2019, as the new effective date approaches.
