Inspection Services
Inspection is a set of procedures that the Somali Bureau of Standards undertakes to ensure that products conform to a defined set of quality standards. SoBS conducts inspections at Ports of Entry and in the marketplace to protect Somali consumers from substandard and unsafe products.
Port Inspection
Inspection of all goods at sea ports, airports and land border crossings before they enter the Somali market.
Market Surveillance
Ongoing monitoring of products already in the Somali marketplace to detect non-compliant or hazardous items.
Factory Inspection
Assessment of production facilities to verify that manufacturing processes meet applicable quality standards.
IGAD Regional Programme
SoBS participates in the IGAD Coordinated Border Management programme, working with partner organisations across the region to harmonise border inspection procedures and prevent the entry of substandard goods into IGAD member countries including Somalia.
