The Belize Bureau of Standards in collaboration with the CARICOM Regional Organisation for Standards and Quality (CROSQ) under the 11th European Development Fund (EDF) Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) Programme Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) component conducted a media sensitization session on Quality Infrastructure (QI) Services (Standards, Metrology, and Conformity Assessment).
The objective of the session was to sensitize the media on the BBS’s role in the development of Belize’s National Quality Infrastructure as it relates to Standards Development, Metrology, and Conformity Assessment Services and to learn about some of the regional initiatives under the 11th EDF-EPA TBT Component that Belize is currently benefiting from.
This dialogue allowed the media to ask questions and express concerns as it relates to the mandate of the Bureau as well as to tour the facilities and see Metrology at work.
The BBS expresses its gratitude to LoveFM, Great Belize Production – Channel 5, Tropical Vision – 7 News, Plus Television, and the Government of Belize Press Office who took the time to participate in the engagement, as well as Krem Radio/TV and CTV 3 News for joining the session virtually.
