An international trade quality standard is a criterion or rule set up by an organization that helps determine compliance across national borders1. It describes the best way of doing something related to a product, process, service, or material. It also facilitates trade by overcoming local or regional constraints and creating a level playing field for businesses.

National Bureau of Standard (NBS) are Government Agencies in charge of quality standards management and conformity assessment. NBS develop, publish, and promote quality standards of goods produced or imported in the country. Conformity evaluation to standards is an activity aiming to improve products, quality, safety, reliability to buyers and to ensure an optimum value for money.

Usually referred to as VOC (Program of Verification of Conformity). A VOC process simply means to certify quality of goods which to standard before shipments, together with the exporter. Various Bureau of standards subcontracts the verification of imported consignment to major private Testing Inspection and Certification companies (TIC). Programmes are running in various countries in Africa and Middle east.
