The Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) yesterday opened a new sub-office in Bartica, Cuyuni/Mazaruni at the Regional Democratic Council’s (RDC) Administrative Office.
A release from GNBS said that this will result in the expansion of core services to the residents of Region Seven. Officers of the Bureau will now be positioned in the mining town to provide inspection services and testing of concrete hollow blocks along with the verification of scales and masses.
Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce Oneidge Walrond in brief remarks noted that the establishment of the new office will eliminate the need to travel long distances to access core services offered by the GNBS.
