Standards (Inspection and Use of Standards Mark or Quality Assurance Mark) Regulations.

These Regulations provide for the control of use of standards and of commodities for which a compulsory Standard or Caribbean Community Standard is in force. Where a compulsory standard is declared for any commodity, or if there is not such a standard, where a CARICOM Standard has been recognized in respect of that commodity, that commodity shall, if imported, be examined by an Inspector on entry before being delivered out of the charge of the Customs Department (reg. 5). Regulation 6 concerns inspection of standards for goods to be exported. The Minister may direct that any labelling used in connection with any product, food, service, process, or practice, must conform to the standard for labelling published by the Belize Bureau of Standards established under section 3 of the Standards Act (reg. 9). The Bureau shall cause the design and description of the standard mark and the quality assurance mark to be published in a manner approved by the Minister (reg. 11). Every application for a licence to use the standard mark shall be in conformity with rules set out in regulation 13. An application for use of the standard mark may be refused on any of the grounds set out in regulation 15. The Bureau shall cause to be maintained a register of all licences (reg. 23).
