Standards

This standard outlines a code of safety for chemical laboratories.

This Code of Practice specifies managerial requirements necessary to ensure the efficient running of any restaurant establishment which seeks to ensure quality in the sight of its customers. With the application of this standard the following is expected: (a) that management of a restaurant shall be made aware of their responsibilities with regard to efficient practices in the restaurant service; (b) that customer satisfaction shall be made the ultimate goal in such an establishment; (c) high productivity for the restaurant service; and (d) that the service shall be made more competitive at local and international levels. This standard does not apply to institutional food services, such as school feeding programmed; and to food vans or vendors, in which food is sold from a vehicle or carts on the road side.

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. This standard also describes exhaust emission requirements, measurement methods and measurement equipment for all vehicles, which are imported into Guyana 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 provides general guidance on

 This standard lays down general requirements on penetrant flaw detectors and their functional units which are designed to reveal invisible, or poorly visible to the eye, surface discontinuities in metals and non-metals of any geometry and at any stage of manufacture.

 This standard lays down the general specifications, requirements and tests of safety devices for fuel gases and oxygen or compressed air used downstream of cylinder or pipeline outlet regulators and of pipeline outlet valves, and upstream of blowpipes for welding, cutting and allied processes. It does not specify location and combination of these devices in the gas system.  

  This standard covers graphical symbols which are placed on resistance welding equipment, e.g., indicators and operator's controls, in order to instruct the persons handling the equipment as to its use and operation. 

  This standard specifies the maximum external leakage rates, which are acceptable for equipment used for welding, cutting and allied processes.  It applies to individual components which are used in the gas supply to a blowpipe from the connecting point of the hose (outlet of the cylinder valve or connecting point to a gas supply plant).  It does not apply to gas supply plants. 

This specifies designations for filler materials for soft soldering, brazing and braze welding, on the basis of their chemical composition. For brazing and braze welding materials only, the designation includes their solidus /liquidus temperatures.  It deals only with those filler metals used in soft soldering, brazing and braze welding which do not incorporate flux, either as a covering or as an integral part of the filler material.
