Non-Tariff Barriers

NTM classification: B7: Product quality, safety or performance requirements
Date when the measure came into force: 21 April 2015
Publication where the measure is specified: UGANDA GAZETTE Vol. CVIII No. 20 of 21 April 2015
Regulation where the measure is specified: US ISO 1413:1984, Horology — Shock resistant watches
Country/Region applying the measure: Uganda
Description of the measure: This Uganda Standard specifies the minimum requirements for shock-resistant watches. It is intended to allow homologation testing of watches rather than the individual control of all watches of a production batch. Indeed, assuming that each watch could comply with the minimum requirements without apparent damage, readjustment could still be made necessary because the test can lead to an alteration of the initial rate of a watch. This standard is based on the simulation of the shock received by a watch on falling accidentally from a height of 1 m on to a horizontal hardwood surface.
Reference of the measure: US ISO 1413:1984
