A Quality Policy is a legal instrument used by governments in promoting and sustaining economic development, as well as environmental and social well-being. It is used to sustain an effective quality infrastructure, which relies on metrology, standardization, accreditation, conformity assessment (inspection and testing among other services) and market surveillance.
This policy is expected to provide an enabling platform for trade facilitation and market access and therefore will be an essential element for the development of our national quality infrastructure and by extension the quality culture in St. Kitts and Nevis.
The Mesopartner Team has been contracted to conduct the development of the National Quality Policy.
