In order to prevent and reduce the placement of substandard regulated products on the Botswana market, BOBS employs three levels of inspection as illustrated. The objective of inspections is to protect the consumer from hazardous products (both health and safety), to protect the environment and to prevent potential deceptive practices. These inspections are an intervention in this whole process of conformity assessment, to establish the conformity status of regulated products and or service on the market. Inspections also serve as a means through which the performance of Designated Inspection Agencies (DIAs) recognised through the SCSR Designation Scheme can be monitored through the traceability of inspected products to the Inspection reports the (DIAs) have issued to the importers.
