CRCP believes that people have a right to safe quality goods and services, whereas they are being provided with items of low or substandard quality. Unfortunately, there does not exist relevant laws and institutional arrangements for ensuring the quality. In view of this grave situation, CRCP has devised a comprehensive campaign for the formulation and implementation of quality standards. In this regard, it is worthy of mention that it was due to the efforts of CRCP that Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) was established. In fact, Pakistan Standards Institutions (PSI), which was the predecessor of PSQCA, was dissolved by a government ordinance, and in its place PSQCA was to be established. However, after the lapse of four years the Authority could not be put in place. CRCP entered in extensive engagement with the Ministry of Science and Technology, wrote to the Minister Dr. Ata-ur-Rahman and pressed for the establishment of the Authority. Eventually, the Authority was set up in the year 2000. Up till now, CRCP has been engaged with PSQCA, PSI, which has been merged in PSQCA, and Pakistan National Accreditation Council to formulate and implement minimum quality standards. Focus of this engagement is on the consumer items, which are of common use and involve significant health or safety hazards.
In September 2002, CRCP reviewed Proposed Performance Standards (Distribution) Rules 2002, of NEPRA.
