    Wedderburn Introducing…a re-branded BSJ

    Timed to coincide with celebrations of World Standards Day 2017, the Bureau of Standards Jamaica (BSJ) which has been reengineering a new role for the organization went public with a new logo and a new focus. The new focus has the BSJ seeking to transition from being seen as a regulator, to being a service provider, facilitating players in industry, with an even greater focus on customer service delivery. This follows a strategic move nearly two years ago to separate the regulatory functions of the BSJ in order to eliminate any conflict of interest that existed, particularly in relation to the BSJ providing conformity assessment services for compulsory standards/technical regulations and administering these standards/technical relations at the same time. This was seen as the BSJ being in conflict with WTO/TBT requirements.

    In the “new” BSJ, it is envisioned that a re-engineered Bureau of Standards Jamaica, with its regulatory responsi-bilities removed, would aid in creating a competitive business environment, facilitating trade and the develop-ment of industries.

    In front of a capacity-sized audience, Executive Director, Stephen Wedderburn; Quality and Environmental Manager, Mrs. Sophia Lawrence; and Dwyte Bremmer, Team Leader in the Chemistry Department, had the honour of unveiling a new logo, representative of a re-branded Bureau of Standards Jamaica. The unveiling took place on Wednesday 11 October 2017, in a function to, among other things, launch three refurbished laboratories, upgraded through a World bank-funded project.

    The re-branded BSJ will also focus on the scientific and engineering laboratories which include, among others:

    • Chemistry Laboratory*

    • Microbiology Laboratory*

    • Packaging Laboratory*

    • Flow and Volume Metrology Laboratory*

    • Mass Metrology Laboratory*

    • Metallurgy Laboratory*

    • Temperature Metrology Laboratory

    • Dimensional Laboratory

    • Force and Pressure Metrology Laboratory

    • Energy Efficiency Testing Laboratory

    *Laboratories with accreditation

    In whatever language the participants use, the shared view was that the 4-day Regional and Training Workshop on Hazardous Waste Management in Laboratories for the Latin American and Caribbean Countries was excellent. Staged as part of a collabo-rative effort between the Bureau of Standards Jamaica (BSJ) and the German Metrology Institute (PTB), the workshop was held over 14-17 August 2017, in Kingston, Jamaica, and had participants from nine countries.

    The workshop formed a part of the larger PTB project, “Promoting Innovations in the Green Economy by including Quality Infrastructure” which seeks to improve the conditions for the development of new and improved Quality Infrastructure services which are relevant for the Green Economy – an economy that is low in carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive.

    Diana Morales, one of two Hondurans participating in the workshop noted that the benefits to both labora-tories and accreditation bodies are significant. The training, she pointed out, was useful for acquiring new skills for handling hazardous waste and for assisting in the development of a national plan for managing such waste from laboratories.

    She said that for the representatives from accredita-tion bodies, including the one based in Honduras, the workshop provided critical guidance in how the relevant standards can be implemented.

    Representative of Suriname’s Standard Bureau, Amrit Gajadien, a Technical Standards Officer, expressed his pleasure at participating as the session allowed him to learn about problems experienced by laborato-ry officials, and gave several pointers in developing an appropriate plan. He said the workshop was empowering him to better supports his country’s efforts to establish metrology laboratories particularly in the areas of mass, volume and temperature.

    Course Facilitator, Roswitha Meyer said that the selection of highly competent persons, many with strong chemistry backgrounds was an important factor in the workshop achieving its stipulated goals. She commended the participants for their diligence, interest, pro-activity, demonstrated teamwork and energetic participation and feedback.

    New Executive Director, Stephen Wedderburn, who shared in both Opening and Closing ceremonies welcomed representatives of CARICOM Member States and Latin & American countries. On both occa-sions he emphasized the importance of improving an organization’s operations and employees’ safety when handling and managing hazardous waste.

    Mr Wedderburn continued, “Many laboratories and quality assurance entities produce hazardous waste and in many cases labs are not prepared to reduce and to manage hazardous waste in a correct way; and facilities to dispose the hazardous waste are not readily available. In a Green Economy, the BSJ as a Quality Institution has to be an example of quality behaviour, including reducing and managing hazard-ous waste in a sustainable way.”

    Against the backdrop of the theme “Standards make cities smarter” the Bureau of Standards Jamaica (BSJ) started a week of celebratory activities, com-memorating World Standards Day 2017, by worship-ping at the Bethel Baptist Church, in the heart of Half Way Tree. Leading the delegation were Byron Thomp-son, representing the Standards Council; Stephen Wedderburn, Executive Director; and Orine Henry, Director of the National Compliance and Regulatory Authority (NCRA).

    Guest preacher, the Rev. William Edwards, in a riveting sermon based on Psalm 149:4 gave a challenge that was ideal for the organization as it prepared to enter a re-branding phase.

    Rev. Edwards presented the following elements as critical elements for the Lord to delight in His people:

    • A Pleasing Countenance

    • A Forgiving Spirit

    • An Understanding Heart

    • Expressions of Praise

    • An Outpouring of Love

    The Rev. Edwards noted that God beautifies on the inside and strengthens people for the fight. He said that a thing of beauty is a joy forever and admon-ished the congregation to recognize that when made new, people must demonstrate that newness – a difference as a result of what comes from within. Virtue, he went on to say, is embedded in the hearts of those who respond positively to Jesus.

    Change, he explained, cannot come from ourselves but through repentance and submission to Jesus Christ. He pointed to Saul, who persecuted Christians but having been transformed, became most prolific in ministry. Importantly, Rev. Edwards reminded the congregation that beauty can be marred but through daily de-cluttering and sanctification, persons should seek to reflect Jesus in their daily lives.

    Mrs. Karen Watson Brown, Manager of the Standards Development and Certification Unit read a lesson and Mr. Wedderburn extended greetings on behalf of the organization.

    World Standards Day is celebrated annually on 14 October.

    The Electrical Practices and Products Technical Com-mittee (EPPTC) was named the most outstanding technical committee (TC) at the annual Appreciation Ceremony, held this year on Tuesday 10 October, at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel. Each year, as part of activities marking World Standards Day, national stan-dards bodies across the world honour the work of thousands of volunteers who contribute to developing standards.

    The committee, chaired by Ray Campbell (Ray Camp-bell and Associates), and facilitated by Mrs. Sherieka Satchell Knight, Standards Development and Certifi-cation Officer was given the task to review 14 out-dat-ed Electrical Standards. A decision was made to adopt International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards that covered the local standards. Conse-quently, 9 committee drafts for the IEC standards were submitted for 30-day non-objection on 9 July 2017 and scheduled to end 10 August 2017 (for the first ten standards).

    The review period for the last four standards ended in September 2017.

    The BSJ established the Electrical Practices and Prod-ucts Technical Committee (EPDTC) with the mandate of adopting and/or adapting International Standards and reviewing existing Jamaican Standards relating to the electrical/electronic industry. This is with the view of ensuring that the interests of the industry and the consumers are adequately represented.

    The EPPTC has its genesis some thirty years ago and can be credited with the development of JS 21, Jamaican Standard Specification for Electrical Instal-lation, the original edition of which was developed in 1976. The EPPTC comprises of experts in the Electri-cal and Electronics field, from academia, industry, manufacturing and consumer groups.

    The Aggregates TC, chaired by Dr. Victor Douse, was adjudged second place and third place awarded to the Motor Vehicle TC which was chaired by Mr. Kenute Hare. Both these committees were facilitated by Mr. Shane Slater, Standards Development and Certification Officer.

    One hundred and sixty (160) Technical Committee members representing 12 committees were show-ered with accolades and tokens for an outstanding year of standards development projects.

    In delivering the main address and connecting with the theme, Standards Council member, Dr. Parris Lyew-Ayee, who heads the Mona Geo-Informatics Institute said, “As technical committees perform their mandate in the areas of food product interests, build-ing materials, and so on, it's not hard to see where your role in the formation of smart cities here in Jamaica lie. The country looks to the BSJ for leader-ship, and the technical committees guide the BSJ.”

    He spoke to his role on the Multi-stakeholder Working Group looking at banning certain plastic packaging materials in Jamaica, and that committee’s decision to ban single-use plastic bags and Styrofoam in Jamaica over the next 5 years. Indicating that this was as much a business decision as it was an environmental one, Dr. Lyew-Ayee suggested that the decision was made in efforts to help foster innovation and the development of alternative products that can compete in the packaging market.

    “The BSJ will play a very key role in the selection and production and ultimate mainstreaming of whichever product or products that will replace Styrofoam and those black scandal bags on the market in a manner that protects consumers and the environment alike, not to the interests of certain stakeholders with vested interests in the status quo,” declared Lyew-Ayee.

    A renovated Energy Efficiency Laboratory as well as the Mass Metrology Laboratory and the Dimensional Metrolo-gy Laboratory, both also recently renovated and retrofit-ted, were all re-opened for business, at an impressive launch event held in mid-October, as part of activities celebrating World Standards Day 2017. During that event the Bureau of Standards Jamaica also unveiled a new logo – the first step in a rebranded organization.

    The Energy Efficiency Laboratory, in the Electrical Engi-neering Department, was retrofitted at a cost of US$2.7M. The Mass Metrology Laboratory and the Dimensional Metrology Laboratory – both in the Mechan-ical Engineering Department – were also renovated with primary funding provided by the World Bank.

    Under a Government of Jamaica (GoJ) designed programme to increase energy efficiency and security, the laboratory saw one existing test chamber being refurbished; and two new test chambers being created.

    The existing test chamber consisting of 6 test stations for the energy efficiency testing of refrigerators and freezers) was refurbished while 2 new test chambers were created. The new chambers will accommodate the testing of refrigerators and freezers, and one for air conditioning units).

    As a part of the project - the Energy Security & Efficiency Enhancement Project (ESEEP), a review of existing stan-dards and a labelling strategy to encourage the revamp-ing of the Energy Efficiency labelling programme were undertaken.

    Three standards were completed and approved:

    • Energy Efficiency Building Code

    • JS 178: Jamaican Standard specifications for Testing of Energy Performance of Household refrigerators and Freezers

    • JS 1: Part 21 Jamaican Standard specifications for Commodities: Energy Labelling of Appliances and prod-ucts

    The upgrade of the mechanical based laboratories was based on the importance of the environmental condi-tions under which national measurement standards are kept and national traceability measurements executed in the process of obtaining international recognition of Jamaica's calibration and measurement capabilities.

    Emanating from this recognition, funding was sought from the World Bank and the project undertaken.

    The labs were officially opened by Mrs. Hillary Alexander, Permanent secretary in the Ministry of Science, Energy and Technology; Ms. Karlene Francis, Acting Country Manager – Jamaica, The World Bank; and Mr. Deryck Omar, Chief Executive Officer, CARICOM Regional Organ-isation for Standards and Quality.

    Each had made earlier remarks at the function which had seen the main address being given by the Hon. Karl Samuda, Minister of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries.

    The International Code Council (ICC) and the Bureau of Stan-dards Jamaica (BSJ) recently signed a milestone memoran-dum of understanding to update Jamaica’s building codes. Under this agreement, the Code Council will work with BSJ to produce customized building codes for Jamaica based on ten of the International Codes, including the International Building Code, International Plumbing Code and International Mechanical Code. ICC will also provide its expertise to help with strengthening training programs for code officials in Jamaica. 

    The World Bank Group, as part of its Disaster Vulnerability Reduction Project, and the Global Facility for Disaster Reduc-tion & Recovery (GFDRR) facilitated this agreement through a $30 million loan granted to the Government of Jamaica to support investment in resilient infrastructure and disaster risk reduction measures. Between 2001 and 2010, ten major natural disasters impacted Jamaica, affecting approximately two million people and causing nearly $1.21 billion in proper-ty losses. This agreement is a much-needed boost to Jamai-ca’s efforts to address the effects of natural disasters and prevent the loss of lives and property. 

    The Code Council’s engagement in Jamaica complements a simultaneous effort carried out by the Government of Jamaica to enact a new Building Act, expected to be passed by Parliament by December 2017. The act would considerably modernize building control processes and formally give legal effect to the adapted ICC building codes. BSJ Chairman James Rawles noted that “ICC engagement is critical to Jamaica as it will set the stage for a successful implementation of the new Jamaican Building Code. This will be a major step to protect health, safety and welfare and make Jamaica more resilient to natural disasters.” 

    “This is a landmark agreement with the potential to protect health, safety and welfare in Jamaica,” said ICC Executive Vice President Mark Johnson. “We are excited to be work-ing with Jamaica and many other countries around the world to establish strong building codes, resilient communi-ties and safe buildings.”

    Jamaica’s petroleum and energy sectors got a well needed bolster with the injection of five distinct standards as part of the National Petroleum Codes, launched at the end of Novem-ber 2017.

    The codes are the:

    JS 341: 2017 Jamaican Standard National Petroleum Code for LiquidPetroleum Products

    JS 342: 2017 Jamaican Standard National Petroleum Code for Liquefied Petroleum Products

    JS 343: 2017 Jamaican Standard National Petroleum Code for Petroleum Based Lubricants

    JS 344: 2017 Jamaican Standard National Petroleum Code for Product Chain of Custody

    JS 345: 2017 Jamaican Standard National Petroleum Code for Biofuels

    The development of the standards became necessary as the absence of enforceable petroleum standards in Jamaica has resulted in widespread practices that are considered unsafe. There has been concern that some of these practices pose a serious threat to the life and property of persons, not only within the industry but among the general public.

    The process dates back as far as 2004 when the then Ministry of Commerce, Science and Technology (along with Energy) initiated the process. With funding from the World Bank, secured by the Ministry of Science, Energy and Technology (MSET) in 2017 a consultant was contracted to assist the process, which involved a series of engagements with indus-try stakeholders. The national petroleum codes are expected to ensure traceability and offer protection for consumers.

    James Rawle, Standards Council Chairman, has recommended that the ministry with portfolio responsibility take the necessary steps to make the codes mandatory.

    Peter McConnell, Managing Director of Trade Winds Citrus Ltd, has encouraged business leaders to be ‘audit ready every day’, declaring that quality standards in and of them-selves cannot stand without a robust quality management system being implemented and maintained to help organi-zations succeed. McConnell, whose Trade Winds company produces and distributes Tru-Juice, Freshh, Wakefield and Calico Jack brands, was speaking recently at a Leadership Breakfast hosted by the National Certification Body of Jamaica (NCBJ) to mark World Quality Month. Several products under the Tru-Juice brand have been certified under the NCBJ’s Jamaica-Made Mark programme.

    The company executive noted that long before Trade Winds had started on its use of ISO 9001: 2008, the compa-ny had committed to a leadership that was consistent with the principles of the standard: taking accountability, making sure that resources were available and engaging, directing and supporting team players in their efforts at improving business processes.

    In an engaging address, McConnell, recognized as one of the PIOJ/Gleaner’s 50 Under Fifty Business Leaders (2012), presented the following main points as key elements of an effective quality management system: Be clear about what you want to do and what you are good at doing;

    Have a clear vision for where you want to go; Identify clearly defined goals to help get you there; Pursue contin-uous improvement Maintaining Customer Focus as the primary driving force.

    He challenged the audience, made up mainly of business leader and quality professionals, to always be mindful of the customers, and getting the products and or services - what the customers want and how they want it. Critical to this process in his business, he said, was engaging every level of his team, discussing the mission, vision, goals and how they would ultimately achieve them. He shared his personal journey of highs and lows, of constant efforts, of frustrations and disappointment, but how, over time, the Trade Winds operations has been able to successfully implement and maintained certifications in agriculture and in manufacturing.

    Also offering a charge to the audience was Dr. Nsombi Jaja, Chief Executive Officer of Quality Management Consultancy.

    The NCBJ currently offers Accredited certification services which include pre-assessments, certification audits and transfers to ISO 9001:2015. Additionally, they offer three (3) National Certification Programmes and One (1) Authorization Programme.

    The sunshiny yellow and the brilliant red outfits worn by the staff of the Finance and Accounting Services Division and their special guests could not counter the air of sadness that pervad-ed the Bureau of Standards Jamaica Board Room as they gath-ered to bid “Happy Retirement” to Mrs. Sandra Robinson, beloved Manager of the Division. The small, intimate gathering on the last day of work for Mrs. Robinson who has proceeded on early retirement provided opportunities for members of the Division and select others from across the organization to shower their leader, mentor, friend and “Boss Lady” with acco-lades.

    Radiant and resplendent in red, Sandra Robinson, a picture of grace and dignity, sat quietly at the head of the table listening to the tributes, accepting hugs and receiving tokens as speaker after speaker sang her praises. Accountant, Rohan Anderson, said that she not only led, she walked with her team in the execution of her duties. Bencrawf Comrie noted that her pres-ence rekindled in team members a reminder of what it was to be an accountant, and not just an employee. He said that he was grateful for the interactions with ‘Miss Rob’ who was able to get the best, the extra mile out of everyone.

    Jenneil Rose drew on Maya Angelou’s “Phenomenal Woman” for inspiration; Claudia Richards recalled that ‘Miss Rob’ worked for perfection and motivated her team to do the same. Her captivating smile which was always present, even in stressful times will be Donna Marshall’s enduring memory, while Shanoi Carter spoke of the immortal legacy she has left for all the young employees, to whom she was an example of consisten-cy, hard work and excellence.

    Other expressions, some in poetry and song; others through PowerPoint presentations and more speeches were delivered by Marcia Atkinson, Viola Lawrence, Trecia Thomas and Michelle Grant. A presentation of a gift, a token from the organi-zation, was presented by Judith Campbell, on behalf of Execu-tive Director, Stephen Wedderburn who spoke briefly commend-ing Mrs. Robinson for her diligence in the execution of her duties.

    Melissa Benson McDonald, administrative assistant to Mrs. Robinson, captured it best, simply by offering her a hug of appreciation for her leadership, management style, grace and strength. Sandra Robinson had been named Manager of the Year for the 2013/14 administrative year.
