Standards

This Code of Practice gives recommendations for storage of tyres, inner tubes and flaps.

This publication was last reviewed and confirmed in 2025. Therefore this version remains current.

This Code of Practice specifies hygienic and safety practices for the processing, packaging, storage, and transport of rice for human consumption.

This Code of Practice specifies general hygienic practices for the primary production and packing of fresh fruits and vegetables (cultivated for human consumption) in order to produce a safe and wholesome product, particularly for those intended to be consumed raw. Specifically, this Code is applicable to fresh fruits and vegetables grown in the field (with or without cover) or in protected facilities (hydroponic systems, greenhouses). It concentrates no microbial hazards and addresses physical and chemical hazards only in so far as these relate to Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). This Code does not provide recommendations for handling practices to maintain the safety of fresh fruits and vegetables at wholesale, retail, food services or in the home. It excludes food products for which there is a specific Codex Alimentarius Code of Hygienic Practice. This Code shall be read in conjunction with the latest version of GYS 13, “Specification for food hygiene”.

This standard applies to Watermelon, Cirtullus lanatus (Thunb) to be supplied fresh to the consumer.

This Guyana Standard is a glossary which defines terms related to passenger car and commercial vehicle tyres. The standard is divided into six sections dealing respectively with general definitions, definitions related to structure, main components, tyre dimensions, service, injury and repair.

This standard specifies the requirements for new and used pneumatic passenger car tyres, along with their storage conditions. It does not apply to tyres for highway commercial vehicles.

This standard describes exhaust emission requirements for all new domestic and commercial vehicles which have been registered in Guyana for the first time after December 31, 1997.

All imported vehicles would be required to conform to exhaust emission limits specified in the standard. Accordingly, the exhaust emission limits must be fully documented and certified by the suppliers/manufacturers, from the country of origin.

 This standard establishes the basic principles for carrying out vibration measurement and processing data, with regard to evaluating vibration effects on buildings. The evaluations of the effects of building vibration are primarily directed at structural response, and include appropriate analytical methods where the frequency, duration and amplitude can be defined. It only deals with the measurement of structural vibration and excludes the measurement of   airborne sound pressure and other pressure fluctuations. 

This standard provides general guidance on methods of carrying out penetrant inspection on materials and components both during manufacture and in service. It does not deal with acceptance or rejection. Penetrant inspection is used to locate discontinuities, such as laps, folds, cracks, porosity and fissures, which are open to the surface of a material or component. Penetrant techniques can be used on materials irrespective of their physical properties, provided that the surface is normally non-absorbent and compatible with the penetrant process. 

This standard provides general guidance on
