A cross-section of members of the committee<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nSpeaking at the 4th Quarter Northern Regional Shipper Committee meeting facilitated by the Ghana Shippers\u2019 Authority (GSA), Mr. Misbaw noted that officers of the Ghana Standards Authority are equipped to identify substandard goods as well as the illegal use of its trade mark.<\/p>\n
He emphasized that the certification of products in the name of AfCFTA on the market will also be scrutinized to prevent the nation from becoming a dumping ground for cheap and unwholesome products from the continent.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have the original AfCFTA certificate, it means that your goods have met all the required standards and are wholesome to be in the market. The certificate gives you the right to trade your product in all African states without any restriction,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n He said that the Ghana Standards Authority aims to establish itself firmly across the country to safeguard consumers. \u201cThis move is to help<\/em> G<\/em>hana <\/em>S<\/em>tandards <\/em>A<\/em>uthority to <\/em>strengthen its activities in the Regions. Due to the lack of staff, there are areas that G<\/em>hana <\/em>S<\/em>tandards <\/em>A<\/em>uthority <\/em>has not been able to access, but with the TSI, G<\/em>hana <\/em>S<\/em>tandards <\/em>A<\/em>uthority <\/em>\u00a0is moving to inland areas to ensure that all producers are doing their work according to standards and the right products are in the market,\u201d<\/em> Mr. Misbaw said.<\/p>\n He used the opportunity to educate the committee on the processes to go through to acquire certification and cautioned them to apply for the right certification before exporting their goods, to avert facing drastic measures in other countries should their goods be declared as substandard.<\/p>\n The members of the Northern Regional Shipper Committee were grateful for the presentation and advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Marketing Officer at the Northern Regional Office of the Ghana Standards Authority Mahamud Misbaw, has stated that the recently commissioned Trading Standards Inspectors (TSI) of the Ghana Standards Authority<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37456,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[899,910,1260,1719,2121],"class_list":["post-37454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news","tag-ghana-shippers-authority","tag-ghana-standards-authority","tag-mahamud-misbaw","tag-northern-regional-shipper-committee","tag-trading-standards-inspectors-tsi"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/localhost:10003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nrsc2.jpg\")
