Standards Development
A Uganda Standard is a document declared as such by the National Standards Council. It may either be a specification, a code of practice or specify other aspects such as terms and definitions, symbols, sampling and test methods and quality systems.

The work of preparing Uganda Standards is carried out through Technical Committees. A Technical Committee is established to deliberate on standards in a given field or area and consists of representatives of Consumers, Traders, Academicians, Manufacturers, Government and other stakeholders. Draft Uganda Standards adopted by the Technical Committee are widely circulated to stake holders and the general public for comments, which are reviewed before recommending them to the National Standards Council for declaration as National Standards.

The following Technical Committees are currently operational

  • Basic and General Standards (UNBS/TC 1);

  • Agriculture and Food Products (UNBS/TC 2);

  • Building and Constructions (UNBS/TC 3);

  • Mechanical Engineering and Metallurgy (UNBS/TC 4);

  • Chemicals and Environment (UNBS/TC 5);

  • Electrotechnology (UNBS/TC 6).

  • Textiles and Textile Products (UNBS/TC 7)

  • Transport and Communications (UNBS/TC 8)

  • Metrology (UNBS/TC 9)

  • Management Systems (UNBS/TC 10)

  • Consumer Products(UNBS/TC 11)
