About Us
The Mauritius Standards Bureau is a parastatal body operating under the aegis of the Ministry of Industry, SME and Cooperatives. It was created in 1975 with the mandate to develop national standards and provide conformity assessment services. The Bureau became a corporate body under the Mauritius Standards Bureau Act 1993 with decision making authority vested upon a Board namely the Standards Council. The change of status brought in its wake a new dynamism. The organizational structure was revamped to accompany the new strategic intents of the Bureau. Presently, there are five separate and distinct technical units namely the Standards Development Unit for the elaboration of standards, the Engineering Unit and the Chemical Unit for the testing of a wide range of products, the Quality Assurance & Training Unit for product and management systems certification and the organization of training courses on Standardisation, Quality Assurance and related systems and the Metrology Unit for the calibration of equipment in industry and for the custody of national measurement standards. In addition the Business Development Unit, the Documentation and Information Centre, the Finance Division, the Human Resource Division and the Administrative Division provide support to these technical units.
