Amu for strengthening standard of products, services
DHAKA, Oct 15, 2018 (BSS) – Industries Minister Amir Hossain Amu today
asked Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI) to fix the national
standard for products and services aimed at competing effectively in the
international market.
“BSTI is the only national level standard testing institution of
Bangladesh. Industrialisation and life security of the country’s people
depend on the activities of BSTI,” he said while addressing a discussion on
‘International Standard and the Fourth Industrial Revolution’ at BSTI
auditorium here, a press release said.
The state-run standards watchdog organised the discussion marking the
‘World Standard Day-2018’.
Speaking as the chief guest, Amu said the government has taken an
initiative to reach the BSTI services at grassroots level.
“The initiative will help create awareness among people about the
standard of products and services,” he said.
Additional Secretary of the Industries Ministry Begum Parag, BSTI
Director General Sardar Abul Kalam and BSTI Director (Standard) M Saddazul
Bari were, among others, present at the discussion.
