The Ghana Standards Authority (GSA), formerly known as the Ghana Standards Board is the authority responsible for developing and promulgating standards as well as ensuring that the quality of goods imported into Ghana meets acceptable standards.

The Food and Drug Authority (FDA) also regulates and certifies food, drugs, cosmetics and other products that have health implications for consumers. This situation does involve some overlap between the two bodies, a situation which the government of Ghana (Ministry of Trade and Industry) is attempting to resolve.
