About Us
As Ireland’s official standards body, the NSAI aims to inspire consumer confidence and protect industry interests through setting standards and issuing certification in the quality and safety of goods and services. The NSAI benchmarks these standards against international best practice and is therefore a key facilitator of fair trade both in Ireland and in global markets. More information, such as the NSAI mission statement and its policies with regard to privacy, quality, and customers is available in strategy and policies.
The NSAI provides knowledge-based services and technical support to the government, consumers and industry, through:
- Consultation on standards to assist manufacturers and suppliers in meeting safety and consumer requirements;
- Independent certification of products, processes and services;
- Certification specific to the construction industry, known as ‘agrément’;
- Regulatory control in the area of measures, or metrology;
- Maintenance and development of the national measurement standards.
As well as domestic activities, the NSAI also represents Ireland in European and international standards bodies, whose aim is to harmonise standards and remove technical barriers to trade.
The organisation section gives in-depth information about the NSAI from the perspective of its structure, board members and decentralisation. It also provides practical details about its location and the use of the NSAI registered trademark.
The legislation acts and Freedom of Information cover the statutory obligations of the Authority, while the press review highlights the media coverage of the NSAI over the past number of months.
