Commerce, Trade, and Industry Minister Emmanuel Chenda says the government wants to harmonise the activities of the Zambia Weights and Measures Agency (ZM&WA) and the Zambia Bureau of Standards (ZABS) in a bid to strengthen and promote metrology in the country.
Mr Chenda said there is need to enhance adherence to metrology to make the local industries more competitive at both national and international levels.
ZANIS reports that the minister said this in a speech read on his behalf by Deputy Minister Richwell Siamunene during the commemoration of the World Metrology Day whose theme this year is “Measurement in daily life.”
The minister has since called for collaboration among players in the metrology industry saying cooperation through memorandum of understanding between organisations will promote quality service delivery.
He added that with the implementation of the decentralisation and national quality policies there will be improved accessibility of metrology services to the industries.
And the ZABS director Emanuel Mutale says the Bureau remains committed to ensure that measurements produced in the country are recorded on the international market.
Mr Mutale said the measurement industry and society at large require more accurate, reliable, and comparable measurements and results that are internationally recognised and accepted.
