Introduction to the n-Butyl Acrylate (Quality Control) Order, 2021

The Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers introduced the n-Butyl Acrylate (Quality Control) Order, 2021, to ensure that imported or sold n-Butyl Acrylate in India meets the prescribed Indian quality standards. Under this Order, the product is required to conform to the relevant Indian Standard.

However, because of the ongoing global supply chain disruptions, it is difficult to ensure the continuous availability of n-Butyl Acrylate in the Indian market. So, the Central Government has decided to extend the temporary suspension of this Quality Control Order.
