ANSWERS

Globalization, competition, innovation, and sustainability are some of the challenges faced by businesses
in the new millennium.

Standards and conformity assessment help industries meet rapidly evolving business requirements.

The Parliament has entrusted PSQCA with functions such as standards development, product conformity
assessment, laboratory testing services, international activities, consumer liaison, training services, and
WTO Enquiry Point.

Pakistan Standards (PS) are developed by Technical Committees (TCs) and approved by the National
Standard Committees according to the PSQCA Act and Pakistan Standards Rules, 2008.

Pakistan Standards are revised periodically to harmonize with and internalize the latest technological
developments in the relevant field.

Mandatory standards notified by the Government of Pakistan are enforced through a system of licensing,
inspection, sampling, testing, and market surveillance.
PSQCA's laboratories provide independent testing of samples drawn from both factories and markets
under the PSQCA product certification scheme.

PSQCA's laboratories provide testing facilities in chemical, mechanical, microbiology, civil engineering,
metallurgical, and electrical disciplines.

PSQCA is actively engaged in developing mutual recognition arrangements between National Standards
Bodies worldwide to minimize technical barriers to trade.

PSQCA maintains consumer liaison by having fully functional offices in Karachi and Rawalpindi to
maintain close liaison with consumers and consumer associations.

PSQCA provides training programs on standardization, quality control testing, and weights and measures
for technical staff of the Authority, other organizations, and trainees from foreign countries.

As the designated WTO/TBT Enquiry Point, PSQCA serves as the nodal point of contact in Pakistan for
WTO member countries to disseminate and provide information on standardization-related market entry
requirements.
