The Somaliland Quality Control Commission (SQCC) is aware that a fully functional National Quality Infrastructure (NQI) is an indispensable tool in ensuring fair trade, safety of humans and animals, as well as protection of environment. Trade, Investment, food security, protection of people & the environment are crucial for the development of Somaliland as reflected in its long and medium term development documents. In order to support realization of this development, there is a need to have Somaliland standards in place and well implemented across the targeted sectors to be developed.
