Ironically, the author of that article appears to be from India. I think of the expression as archaic. No one says it now. But maybe it was originally a British expression and thus became common Indian usage.
I have used the alternative expression, up to snuff, on occasion.
Of course, I use some other "archaic" expressions on occasion also.
They're fun and they still fit.

It means up to par, of normally good quality.
I agree. I have the feeling Americans don't use metaphors much anymore and that our language is boring.

Metaphors and expressions are fun when both parties of the first and second part know what they mean. I've had more than a few which left me blank, as I didn't have the background to know what the heck that all meant.
