Standard specifications various fields
The approved standard specifications varied in the areas of the food and feed industries sector, the engineering industries sector, and the chemical and petrochemical sector, in addition to the adoption of 30 international standards in the field of renewable energies.
Libyan quality and conformity marks
During the ceremony, a technical report was presented that included the NCSS’s activities, including granting licenses to use the Libyan quality mark for Libyan products, and the conformity mark for bottled drinking water, explaining the quality of Libyan products and the efficiency of the manufacturing process in accordance with local and international specifications.
Standards: Increased confidence, local and export sales?
It is hoped that over time more standards are issued for Libyan products which should increase local confidence and sales and lead to increased exports – especially to the EU market.
