              BONSO ELECTRONICS EXPANDS INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION
               TO INCLUDE QUALITY, ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY

     Hong Kong, March 13, 2006/Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Bonso Electronics
International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNSO) a designer and manufacturer of sensor based
and communications products, today announced that the factory operations in
Shenzhen, China have expanded their international certification according to the
internationally recognized Environmental Management Standard known as ISO 14001
and the Occupational Health and Safety Management Standard known as OHSAS 18001.

         Mr. George O'Leary, President and CEO said, "Our factory operations
have been built on the foundation of the International Standards Organization
(ISO) for quality based on the principles of ISO 9001. We are proud to announce
that we receive certification according to the Environmental Management
Standards of ISO 14001 and we have completed building further on this solid
foundation by being certified for managing work and safety risks under OHSAS
18001 rules."

     Mr. O'Leary said further, "We want to apply environmental considerations to
every aspect of the product lifecycle including planning, design, purchasing of
parts and materials, manufacturing, distribution, usage, collection and
recycling. The ultimate goals are to avoid risks, contribute to cost cutting,
achieve greater product differentiation and raise corporate value. Bonso
recognizes and believes that environmental management is one of our highest
corporate priorities and that we will conduct all aspects of our business as
responsible stewards of the environment. We will integrate the principles and
practices of conserving our natural resources and reducing pollution as
essential elements of our management, corporate culture and community
relations."

     "We implemented ISO 14001 for three main reasons: cost savings from
efficiency gains, competitive trade advantages and improved environmental
performance. Just as adherence to ISO 9001 quality management standards have
become a de facto requirement for manufactures world wide, the ISO 14001
standards are becoming a necessary condition for international trade".

     Mr. O'Leary said further, "By integrating the Occupational Health and
Safety Management Standards (OHSAS 18001) into our quality and environmental
systems we have created a total Integrated Management System (IMS) - Quality,
Environment and Health and Safety by combining ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS
18001 into one Quality / Environment / Health and Safety registration. Our ISO
14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications ensure that our employees and environment
are kept safe during the manufacturing process."




     "These initiatives demonstrate Bonso's ongoing commitment to delivering
quality products and services, while at the same time, continuing to maintain
safe and responsible employee practices in an environmentally friendly way."
