Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS)

Overview

This government agency, established in 1983 and operational since 1989 under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Co-operatives, is governed by a National Standards Council and managed by an Executive Director alongside an 18-person management team. Its core mission centers on developing, promoting, and enforcing national standards for products and services in Uganda, improving quality, safety, and consumer protection throughout the country.

The organization formulates standards through stakeholder consultation and public comment, implements quality assurance systems, and conducts rigorous laboratory testing. It enforces regulations to eliminate sub-standard products from the market and provides training to industry stakeholders in quality management and compliance. These efforts benefit manufacturers, importers, consumers, and government agencies and contribute significantly to public health and industrial growth in Uganda.
