The Scientific Standardization Division is entrusted with development of National Standards for products and services to be used mainly in the industrial and trade sector. The division is consisted of three sections namely Agriculture and Food, Chemical and Cosmetic as well as Textile and Garments to facilitate development of standards in multidisciplinary manner addressing different categories.

Development of national standards may vary as Specifications for materials or products; they may be Code of Practices or guides giving recommended practices in same field of industry or may be Methods of Test or Glossaries of Terms. Also whenever feasible, as a policy, Scientific Standardization Division adopts and refers to International Standards such as ISO and ASTM to make the national standards inline with international requirements

Sri Lanka Standards are developed through Committees and as cooperative effort; by negotiations and consensus of all interested parties are concerned. This achieves through consultation of various expert groups representing manufacturers, consumers/users, Academia, research organizations, Public Institutions and Independent Technical Organizations.

The Scientific Standardization Division appoints technical committees called Sectoral Committees to advice and guides these standard formulation activities and these committees are managed by professionally qualified staff of the Sri Lanka Standards Institution who provides secretarial and technical assistance on matters pertaining to principles and procedures of standardization. The Scientific Standardization Division plays the role of a coordinating body whereby knowledge and experience available in the country to direct to the preparation of standards.

In the selection of standard formulation projects, priority is given to standards that facilitate internal and external trade and to enhance the international competitiveness of Sri Lankan products with the prime objective of safeguarding the interest of the consumers and the industry.

Currently there are over 1350 Sri Lanka Standards relating to products, materials, processes and practices. Many standards have been revised to entrust of new development of materials, processes and technologies.

Sri Lanka Standards are intended for voluntary adoption by those concerned unless made compulsory by Acts and Regulations.

The Scientific Standardization Division has been awarded ISO 9001: 2008 Quality Management System Certification by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 2009 which is an indication of rigorous quality of standards formulation process of the Division.

ENGINEERING STANDARDS FORMULATION DIVISION

The National Engineering Standards formulated by the Engineering Standardization Division are developed through a committee process and a consultative process with the voluntary involvement and the co-operative effort of all interested parties representing consumers, producers, users, public Institutions and independent technical Organizations.

The Institution appoints Technical Committees to advice and guide the Institution in these activities, with the aim of gathering all possible expertise in the best possible way to maximize benefits to the national economy from these Standardization activities.

National standards represent co-ordinated solutions for use in technology, commerce trade and administration and are intended to achieve;

  • overall economy in terms of human effort materials, power and other resources in the exchange of goods and services.
  • the protection of consumer interest through adequate and consistent quality of goods and services.
  • safety, health and protection of life, and;
  • provide a means of expression and of communication amongst all interested parties.

These standards may be specifications for materials or products; they may be codes of practice written in mandatory form or guides giving recommended practices in some field of industry; or they many be methods of test, glossaries of terms or may express some other form of standardization.

In the formulation of Standards, the policy of the Sri Lanka Standards Institution is to be in line with the International Standards and practices as far as practicable. To this effect International Standards are adopted, as Sri Lanka Standards, wherever feasible.

In the selection of Standards formulation projects priority is given to standards that facilitate internal and external trade and to enhance the international competitiveness of Sri Lankan products with the prime objective of safeguarding the interest of the consumer.

There are now around 1400 Sri Lanka Standards relating to products, commodities, materials, processes & practices. Many have been revised to take care of the developments in the new materials, processes and technologies. Such revisions are indicated with the year of revision. Sri Lanka Standards are intended for voluntary adoption by those concerned unless made compulsory under the provisions of the Sri Lanka Standards Institution Act or by specific reference to standards in other acts and regulations.

  • Sectoral Committee on Electric Cables and Conductors
  • National Electrotechnical Committee of Sri Lanka
  • Sectoral Committee on Information Technology
  • Working Group on Electrical Appliances and Accessories.
  • Working Group on Electric Motors
  • Working Group on Lightning Protection System

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING SECTION

Thus a Sectoral Committee constitutes of both members nominated from respective organizations as well as members appointed on a personal capacity.

SLSI in consultation with Sectoral Committees may appoint Working Groups to deal with specific standardization projects. Such Working Groups report to the relevant Sectoral Committee.

Chairpersons of the Sectoral Committees are appointed by the Council of the SLSI. These committees meet about once in two months or more often as necessary. Meetings of a committee are normally open only to members of the committee.
