The Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) calls upon all consumers salon owners/operators and the public to use hair relaxers that are certified by UNBS and bear the UNBS Quality Mark to ensure consumption of safe products.

All hair relaxers locally manufactured in Uganda are certified in line with the above standards and all imported Hair relaxers are inspected through the Pre -export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) Program in their respective exporting countries before shipment to Uganda in line with the standards, which means that they are safe for consumption.
