About Botswana Bureau of Standards

Introduction
The Botswana Bureau of Standards catalogue reflects all BOS standards that have
been printed. The catalogue is reviewed quarterly to reflect the new standards that
would have been published within the previous quarter.
Background
Following the adoption of the Standards Act by the Botswana Parliament in 1995, the
Botswana Bureau of Standards (BOBS) became a Parastatal in April 1997 as envisaged
in the Act. A twelve (12) member Standards Council heads the organization. BOBS is the
official body responsible for all issues related to standardization and quality assurance at
the national level. BOBS is also a full member of the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO), the national contact point for all Southern African Development
Community (SADC) programmes related to standardization and quality assurance and the
national Enquiry Point for standards regulations under the World Trade Organization
Technical Barriers to Trade Agreement (WTO/TBT).
BOBS was formed with the primary objectives of formulating Botswana standards and
coordinating quality assurance activities in Botswana, with the mission to improve the
quality of life of the citizens of Botswana. This is done through the following departments:
Standards, Regulatory Compliance, Commercial Enterprise, and Corporate Services.
Information Centre
BOBS Information Centre is a depository of technical and technological information. The
Centre is an international reference point for information about standards, technical
regulations and certification systems in Botswana.
The range of standards available at the Centre includes, Botswana, regional and
international standards. These standards are not available on loan, but can be used
by anyone for reference purposes in the centre. The other alternative is of course to
buy and details are found in the next section (How to place an order)

This International Standard deals with the safety of electric air cleaning appliances for
household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for a single
phase appliances and 480V for other appliances.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but that nevertheless may be a source of
danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light
industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard.
As far as it is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances
that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not
take into account persons (including children) whose
- Physical , sensory or mental capabilities; or
- Lack of experience and knowledge
Prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction; children
