New equipment to enhance TBS quality infrastructure
The Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) has acquired new state-of-the-art testing and calibration equipment under the Project on Trade Capacity Building:

The Bureau issues a biannual bulletin 'Announcer' that gives details of standards published by TBS, International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and other international and national standards bodies abroad.

Tanzania Bureau of Standards is the National Enquiry Point for WTO-TBT Agreements in Tanzania. NEP handles information on technical regulations and standards adopted or proposed to be adopted and conformity assessment procedures adopted or proposed to be adopted

In its efforts to support a coordinated development of the packaging industry by strengthening the existing standardization and testing capability in the area of packaging, the government of Tanzania through Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) has established the Packaging Technology Centre (PTC).

TBS runs radio program 'VIWANGO' and spots advertisement through both print and electronic media aiming at educating the general public on benefits of standardization.
