Basseterre, St. Kitts, August 11, 2021 (SKNBS): The Bureau of Standards Bill, 2021, which was read for the first time in the National Assembly on August 05, 2021, is significant as it sets the foundation for a National Quality Infrastructure (NQI).

An NQI is a national framework that guides the production of local goods and services based on agreed standards that follow international benchmarks.

As the bill addresses the NQI, it speaks on matters such as standardization, accreditation, metrology, and conformity assessment (testing, inspection, and certification).
The Bill allows for inspection of goods and commodities at the border. It also permits the inspection of establishments that sell goods and commodities in the country. Such inspection may include checking for labels as well as testing of commodities to ensure they conform to certain regulations.
