BANKS DIH on Friday achieved the rights to use the Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) approved Made in Guyana Standards mark for its locally produced products.

In a short ceremony hosted at Banks DIH, the Made in Guyana Certificate was presented to the company’s Chairman Clifford Reis by John Edghill, Director of Business.

The Made in Guyana Standards Mark is a registered mark that aims to provide recognition to products manufactured locally and made available to both local and international markets. The seal is a signature of quality for authentic Guyanese products.

Additionally, the Made in Guyana certification mark focuses on creating national competitiveness for authentic Guyanese products certified under the programme, while also creating and promoting brand recognition of locally manufactured Guyanese products.

The Made in Guyana Standards Mark Programme will also provide a framework for the development of quality systems within the local market, thus enabling a quality revolution, pushing Guyanese businesses to the forefront of quality on a national, regional, and international level, according to the GNBS.

The Made in Guyana Standards Mark Programme is voluntary and is available to all local manufacturers who are interested in being certified under this programme.

This programme is in keeping with the GNBS Act of 1984, which authorises the GNBS to use its Made in Guyana Certification Mark on products with set criteria that are in compliance with the terms and conditions of this programme.
