UNBS, led by the Executive Director, @EngJamesKasigwa, is sensitizing select Government of Uganda Ministries, Departments and Agencies about implementation of standards, quality and metrology as a pathway to achieving the ten-fold growth strategy.
Eng. Kasigwa says, UNBS needs to work with government MDAs to build a National Quality Culture so that producers in the country produce quality and consumers demand quality.
Building a quality culture will in turn boost industrialization, enhance exportation of locally made products and increase import substitution in line with the Uganda’s ten-fold growth to a USD 500 billion economy by 2040.

UNBS MARKET SURVEILLANCE INTENSIFIES LPG SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE INSPECTIONS IN KAMPALA METROPOLITAN AREA.
The Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) Market Surveillance team is conducting inspections of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) products and handling practices across the Kampala Metropolitan Area to strengthen compliance with safety and quality requirements.
The inspections are targeting common compliance gaps, including mislabelling, under-filling of gas cylinders, cylinder swapping (cross-filling), the use of cylinders beyond their service life, and other practices that may compromise consumer safety.
UNBS is committed to enforcing applicable standards and requirements to ensure that LPG cylinders meet the required safety and quality standards. Businesses are urged to comply with the established requirements, as consumer safety is non-negotiable.
