Who We Are
The BBS established on 16th May 1992 under the Standards Act, Chapter 295 and 295s of the Revised Laws of Belize is recognized as the National Standards Body. Its purpose is to facilitate the development of national standards by promoting the use and harmonization of standards for sustainable production in the trade of goods and services.
At its core, the BBS is the national center for promoting efficiency and competitive production in goods and services, with Quality Infrastructure (QI) serving as the foundation in achieving this objective. The pillars of Standardization, Metrology, Conformity Assessment (sampling, testing, calibration, inspection, certification procedures), and Accreditation combined serve to ensure that goods and services, whether produced domestically or imported, meet established regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the health and safety of consumers and the environment. The Bureau is essentially responsible for protecting, securing, and safeguarding the welfare of the country, a function carried out through the Consumer Protection Unit.
BBS mandate consists primarily of fulfilling its responsibility to implement and enforce the Standards Act and National Metrology Act.
