Fiji Standards

The Fiji Trade Standards and Quality Control Office (FTSQCO) was formed after the enactment of the Trade Standards and Quality Control Decree (TSQCD) in 1992. The Minister of Commerce Business Development and Investment, under the Trade Standards and Quality Control Decree 1992 appointed the Trade Standards Advisory Council (TSAC) to operate in conjunction with the FTSQCO.

Under the TSQCD it has responsibility of ensuring the quality and safety of products manufactured or supplied in Fiji.

The TSAC provides advice to the Minster on the promulgation under the TSQCD of voluntary and mandatory standards and other quality and safety related issues in trade, e.g. declaration of dangerous goods, temporary bans and issuance of defect notices and warnings. It is the policy of the TSAC to prepare Fiji Standards based on International or other National Standards.

The FTSQCO signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Standards Australia International in 1998, which gave Fiji a platform from which it approached standardization issues. The MoU gave the FTSQCO the opportunity to adopt and modify Australian Standards as Fiji Standards This site is maintained and administered by Standards Australia on behalf of the TSAC and FTSQCO.

Fiji Standards consist of a cover page and the International or other National Standard from another source. The cover page includes the modifications to the Standard from the other source.

Those Standards that have been enacted as Fiji Standards do not cover all areas of Standardisation. Additional information on Standardisation in Australia and New Zealand can be sourced from Standards Australia (www.standards.org.au) and Standards New Zealand (www.standards.co.nz).
