Product Certification and Compliance Requirements

• Piawai Brunei Darussalam (PBD): Brunei's national standards, known as PBD, are developed through consensus by committees of stakeholders, including industry representatives, government officials, academia, and the public. These standards ensure that products and services are safe, reliable, and of good quality. 

• Conformity Assessment: Products may require conformity assessment to demonstrate compliance with relevant standards. This assessment can be conducted by accredited Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) in Brunei. The process involves evaluating whether a product meets specified standards, regulations, and requirements set by relevant authorities.

• Type Approval for Telecommunications Equipment: For telecommunications equipment, type approval certificates are required. AITI bases its conformity assessment on European standards and accepts certificates from Singapore or Malaysia to support the assessment. The certificates are valid for five years and can be renewed before expiry. 

• Labeling and Marking Requirements: Products must adhere to specific labeling requirements, including information such as product name, manufacturer details, country of origin, storage instructions, net weight/volume, list of contents, nutritional information, production and expiration dates, and lot identification. Labels must be in English and not misleading to consumers.
