Sana'a - Saba:
The Yemeni Authority for Standardization, Metrology and Quality Control has initiated field operations to monitor markets in Taiz province and gas stations in Dhamar province.
In Taiz, the Authority has commenced a 10-day campaign targeting markets and shops to inspect food products, ensure accurate weights and measurements of packaged goods, and educate vendors on proper product display and trading requirements, especially with the approach of Ramadan.
Director of the Authority's Taiz branch Eng. Riyadh Al-Bukhaiti urged consumers to scrutinize product labels and validity dates, and to avoid non-compliant goods. The campaign includes distributing informational brochures to shop owners about trading standards.
Simultaneously, in Dhamar, the Authority concluded a periodic monitoring and calibration program for domestic gas filling stations and industrial facility measuring tools.
Director of the Authority's Dhamar branch Dr. Yahya al-Dabai emphasized the importance of verifying that measuring and weighing tools have the Authority's verification sticker to prevent commercial fraud.
He also reiterated the need for adherence to Yemeni standard specifications, safety regulations, and legal standards.
These campaigns underscore the Authority's commitment to protecting consumers and ensuring fair trade practices across Yemen.
