GNBS sees surge in business certifications in 2025 2nd quarter
The Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) has reported a significant increase in business certifications during the second quarter of 2025, reflecting a growing movement toward quality, consistency, and consumer confidence.
In a recent press release, the GNBS stated that a growing number of Guyanese businesses are stepping up to meet national standards. They added that this trend aligns with the Government of Guyana’s call for greater conformity with standards and certification.

According to the GNBS, between May and June, three companies earned the prestigious Made in Guyana Certification Mark, which authenticates the local origin and quality of their products: Heather’s Creation and Products, Pure Aqua, and Treev’s Natural Blends.
The GNBS emphasised that certification supports the Government’s broader goals to strengthen the business sector, improve product and service quality, and enhance Guyana’s competitiveness in both regional and global markets.
These new GNBS-approved “Made in Guyana” businesses join a growing list of local manufacturers who have demonstrated their commitment to meeting GNBS requirements. This certification enables them to use the official mark on their products and packaging.
By attaining this certification, these businesses are not only fulfilling GNBS and Government expectations but are also creating opportunities for growth and expansion into new markets.
Meanwhile, the second quarter also saw the certification of three new laboratories: Geo-Enviro Support Services, Geo-Solutions Guyana Inc., and Allied Health Medical Laboratory – a vital move in ensuring scientific accuracy and operational excellence in the areas of environmental, product, and medical testing.
The increased access to reliable testing supports the nation’s efforts to improve the quality of infrastructure, enhance health and safety, and preserve the environment.
Adding to the certification momentum during the quarter, Lemmyal Place, a local bed-and-breakfast facility, was certified by the GNBS as a standard-compliant accommodation establishment. This reflects growing attention to hospitality standards, a key pillar of Guyana’s expanding tourism sector.
Certification provides assurance, credibility, and consistency in meeting guidelines and specifications aimed at consumer satisfaction. It builds trust, offers a competitive edge, ensures quality, opens access to more markets, and helps mitigate risks by requiring adherence to best practices.
The GNBS commended the businesses for their commitment and encourages others to follow in their footsteps on the path to prosperity.
With continued Government support and clear national policy direction, the GNBS remains committed to helping businesses make standards and certification key pillars of development and economic transformation.
