PRODUCT CERTIFICATION SCHEME ON UAS
UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEM
Drones, also known as unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs), have an incredible history
dating back to the early 20th century since
World War I as they were first developed
for military purposes. Today, drones have
become an integral part of our life cycle,
ranging from uses in photography,
agriculture, package delivery, survey,
inspections, asset management,
surveillance and many more.
Drones are classified into five categories
ranging from nano (less than 250 grams) to
large (greater than 150 kgs). In order to
exercise adequate control in present
scenario, the DGCA(Directorate General of
Civil Aviation) under Ministry of Civil
Aviation has signed a Memorandum to
establish a mechanism for cooperation with
the Quality Council of India (QCI), to develop
and operate a Certification scheme for UAS
– Unmanned Aircraft System as per the
Technical Standards defined by DGCA for
UAS, with required standards, respective
procedures and specifications for Third
Party Conformity Assessment systems
under the scheme, as the Scheme Owner.
All UAV manufacturers must comply with
the guidelines and standards of the UAS
Scheme as part of the Make in India
initiative promoted by the Government of
India.
