Organization and Objectives

The Ethiopian Standards Agency (ESA) is the national standards body of Ethiopia

Ethiopian Standards

composed of different stakeholders consisting of educational Institutions, research
institutes, government organizations, certification, inspection, and testing
organizations, regulatory bodies, consumer association etc. The requirements and/
