Pan-African Quality Infrastructure (PAQI)
The PAQI platform was officially inaugurated on 30 August 2013 by the Director for Trade and Industry of the African Union Commission. Its members which include the African Accreditation Cooperation (AFRAC), the Intra-Africa Metrology System (AFRIMETS), the African Electrotechnical Standardisation Commission (AFSEC) and the African Organisation for Standardisation (ARSO) have formalised their collaboration as cooperation partners of the Pan-African Quality Infrastructure (PAQI) Joint Committee by signing a Memorandum of Understanding. PTB supported the establishment of PAQI and its respective structures as the voice of quality infrastructure in Africa.
Enclosed you will find the PAQI brochure and flyer as well as papers on relevant topics such as the Cassava Value Chain, Augmented Realty or Guidelines for Accreditation Bodies.
