Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>On Tuesday, March 19, the cabinet approved the Standards Bill, which aims to establish the Standards Institute of Zimbabwe and promote quality assurance in business and industry.<\/p>\n

Jenfan Muswere, the Minister of Information, Publicity, and Broadcasting Services, disclosed the development during a post-cabinet briefing in Harare. Said Muswere:<\/p>\n

Cabinet wishes to inform the public that the Standards Bill will guide the development of voluntary standards in the protection of safety, health and the environment.<\/p>\n

The Bill will create the Standards Institute of Zimbabwe, whose main mandate will be to develop, publish and promote voluntary standards and quality assurance in industry and commerce.<\/p>\n

The Bill will provide for the establishment of Provincial Standards Committees which will be entrusted with supervision, administration and financial management functions in the provinces.<\/p>\n

The introduction of the Standards Law will help grow the country\u2019s exports by regulating the quality of goods and services under the consolidated African Continental Free Trade Area market.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the framework of standards will be cascaded to all the country\u2019s provinces to support the rural industrialisation agenda through the production of quality and competitive goods and services.<\/p>\n

In response to media inquiries, Minister Ndlovu clarified that the Standards Association of Zimbabwe (SAZ) operates primarily as a voluntary organization under the Private Voluntary Organization Act, while the proposed Standard Institute of Zimbabwe would function as a statutory body according to the Bill.<\/p>\n
