Fixation Norms
Norms Fixation & Headquarters:
Every applicant should be aware that input/ goods which are imported are used for Export/output, according to SION, known as Standard Input Output Norms. When an export product doesn’t fall in place, the exporter can fix norms, and the manufacturer Exporter and merchant exporter can file for an application. DGFT of the final export product should set standards for the quantum of inputs required per unit. This is known as the Fixation of norms under Advance Authorization or norms fixation. DGFT does this from the headquarters in Delhi.
SION applicable for products
SION applies to many products/ groups like Electronics, Food Products, Plastics, Handicrafts, textiles, leather, sports engineering, food products like fish or other marine products, chemical and allied products, etc. DGFT issues notifications on the website for the addition and Fixation of SION (Standard Input Output Norms).
Category of Norms:
There are two categories: SION (Standard Input Output Norms) and Ad-hoc norms.
SION Norms

The list is not less; it’s more than 10,000 products under various sectors. The application needs to be submitted to the DGFT head if the manufacturer exporter or merchant Exporter wants to modify the existing SION by changing it into a new one.
Ad– hocNorms
Exporter has to approach the Norms committee if there are no standard norms applicable for particular exporter product at DGFT New Delhi, which will also help fix the norms for export items with the help of initial Fixation of norms or Fixation of norms after getting the advance license.
