Quality is up to the mark

Quality is up to the mark, the words 'quality is up to the mark' mean that the quality of the article is up to the standard required by the Act and the vendee.

It must be remembered that it is not a document drafted by a solicitor; it is a document using the language of a tradesman. Any tradesman, when he is assured that the quality of the article is up to the mark will readily conclude that he is being assured that the article is not adulterated, K. Ranganatha Reddiar v.
