The Bahamas Bureau of Standards & Quality (BBSQ) hosted a workshop on Standards Awareness and Stakeholder Validation on Legal Metrology Regulation on Thursday, November 5, 2026 bringing together representatives from a cross-section of agencies to discuss standards and regulatory requirements relating to measuring instruments.
Welcome and opening remarks were delivered by Chairman, BBSQ Standards Council, Senator the Hon. Kevin Simmons, who welcomed the representatives and thanked them for their participation in the workshop. Executive Director, Dr. Renae Bufford gave an overview of the BBSQ, explaining the role of the agency.
Held in the training room of the Public Hospitals Authority, the workshop provided stakeholders with an opportunity to participate in discussion and receive presentations on three key areas of legal metrology: blood pressure monitors, water meters and electricity meters.
The presentations focused on these instruments as part of the broader effort to promote awareness and stakeholder engagement in the development and validation of legal metrology regulations.
The participation of representatives from various agencies underscored the importance of collaboration and stakeholder involvement in advancing standards awareness and supporting the effective implementation of regulatory measures.
Through initiatives such as this workshop, the BBSQ continues to engage stakeholders on matters relating to standards, quality and legal metrology in The Bahamas.
