This book is an in-depth study and analysis of the concept of standardization and quality regulation and quality regulation as a legal instrument for the development of Africa. It shows how standardization facilitates trade and economic integration into the global economy as well as the protection of African consumers. The book discloses that whilst standardization is pivotal to the sustainable economic growth of Africa, law and legislation are crucial in driving standardization and quality regulation trends on the African continent. The work advocates for a coherent and dynamic legal framework for standardization and regulatory activities in Africa with a view to harmonizing common rules, regulations, and practices that could facilitate cooperation and coordination of trade-related economic activities.
