The Department of Commerce, in collaboration with industry chamber CII, Bureau of Indian Standards and National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies, is organising the third conclave here.
"The objective of the conclave is to bring awareness and prepare industries, central government ministries, states, regulatory/standards setting and conformity assessment bodies on the growing importance of 'standards' in the changing scenario of global trade," an official statement said.
It is being held in the backdrop of diminishing importance of tariffs and rising influence of standards and regulation, both in goods and services trade, it said.
The ministry said that the ministries, regulators and state governments have to realise that their initiatives and schemes have to be built around global standards if they have to succeed in their objectives.
A good standards regime would fulfil the vision of the Prime Minister for 'Zero Defect, Zero Effect' and 'Make in India' campaigns.
"It would also help in preventing flooding of domestic market with unsafe/sub-standard imports at the expense of our domestic industry as well as consumers," the statement added.
