India - Draft Rubber Gaskets for Pressure Cooker (Quality Control) Order, 2023

​The India Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) recently notified WTO regarding draft Rubber Gaskets for Pressure Cooker (Quality Control) Order, 2023.

The pressure cooker gasket is the rubber ring that runs around the rim of the lid and stops the heat and steam from leaving the pot during the cooking process.

It is used to keep a pressure cooker airtight. This helps retain steam between the pan and the lid, enabling pressure to build up.

Rubber Gaskets for Pressure Cookers shall conform to Indian Standard IS 7466:1994 and shall bear the Standard Mark under a license from the Bureau of Indian Standards as per Scheme-1 of Schedule-II to the Bureau of Indian Standards (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018.
