BRIEFING NOTE SERIES: TOWARDS A THRIVING ECOOK MARKET IN TANZANIA : Quality Products: Electric Pressure Cookers in Tanzania

This briefing note addresses the topic of appliance quality, specifically in reference to the quality of electric pressure cookers (EPCs) in Tanzania. Appliances can be designed and manufactured to varying standards, which has implications for safety during use, functionality and efficacy to perform the task it is designed for, and the user experience. A standard can be used to determine the features or attributes which make the appliance an acceptable quality, and these can be used to dictate what is allowed to be imported into a country. Some countries adopt international standards while others write and adopt their own national standards. Along with the content of a standard, the methods and efficacy of enforcement of the standards is also a key factor which determines whether the appliances circulating in a country have the desired attributes to be able to be called ‘good quality’.
