Experts assess building standards

In continuing its efforts to improve and standardize Building Construction Regulations, the Namibia Standards Institution in collaboration with the Senior Experten Service (SES) of the Federal Republic of Germany hired an expert, Prof. Karl-Heinz Bosman (front left) to analyse building standards and to propose a strategy to achieve the NSI’s objectives. Here Prof Bosman is seen with colleagues during a Mass Housing site visit in Otjomuise contracted to Afrikuumba. The NSI, Namibia’s national standards body represents the government on a number of regional and international organizations dealing with issues of protection of human life, health and safety. The NSI is a full member of the ISO, the International Standards Organization. See full article on page 3. Photograph by the Namibia Standards Institution.
