The National Quality Policy (NQP) is the basic government instrument that sets out the objectives and strategies of Trinidad and Tobago regarding the development and use of the Quality Infra-structure in relation to its economic and societal needs and the building of a quality culture. Internationally, the quality infrastructure is recognized as a critical support mechanism for social progress and economic development, enabling the participation of developing countries in international trade.
