      What are Norms? What is Fixation of Norms?

      Norms are specifications issued and developed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) in consultation with industry stakeholders and technical experts. These norms specify the quantity of inputs that are required to produce a unit of output in various industries.

      Norms are issued for various products and industries, and are based on the best practices and technologies available in the industry. They are revised from time to time to ensure that they reflect the current technological and industrial practices.

      Norms help in calculating the duty drawback (refund of duties paid on inputs used in the export product) and to fix the export obligation (EO) for Advance Authorization (AA)/DFIA Scheme and Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) schemes.

      There are cases where norms have not been notified by the DGFT or where the applicant wants to get their ad-hoc norms fixed before making an application for Advance Authorization. This is called as Norms Fixation.

      Categories of Norms

      There are two categories of norms including Standard Input-Output Norms (SION) and Ad-hoc norms

      Standard Input Output Norms (SION) Norms

      Sion Norms are published by DGFT to specify the required number of inputs needed to produce a unit of outputs for exporting under Advance Authorization Scheme or DFIA Scheme. Advance licenses/DFIA Licenses are issued on the basis of inputs and export items given under SION published by DGFT.

      Ad-hoc Norms

      In case there are no SION norms for a particular export product, then the exporter has to approach the norms committee in DGFT and get the norms fixed for his particular export product. These norms are fixed by the exporter and hence these are called ad-hoc norms.

      Which products are covered by the Norms Committee?

      There are different Norms Committee looking after different product groups. There are 7 Norms Committee according to the ITC(HS) of the Export Products.
