Standards regulator meets with fellow Gov’t agencies

The Bahamas’ standards and quality regulator has met with multiple other government agencies to discuss supervisory requirements for measuring instruments.

The Bahamas Bureau of Standards & Quality (BBSQ), in a statement, said it hosted a workshop on standards awareness and stakeholder validation on legal metrology regulation for a cross-section of agencies last week.

Senator Kevin Simmons, chairman of the BBSQ Standards Council, welcomed attendees while Dr Renae Bufford, the BBSQ’s executive director, gave an overview of the agency and its role.

Held in the training room of the Public Hospitals Authority (PHA), the workshop provided stakeholders with an opportunity to discuss and receive presentations on three key areas of legal metrology - blood pressure monitors, water meters and electricity meters.

The presentations focused on these instruments as part of the broader effort to promote awareness and stakeholder engagement in the development and validation of legal metrology regulations.
