| The Guyana national bureau of standards GNBS plans further crackdowns on sale outlets to ensure compliance with national standards for weights and measures. Only recently, Inspections of the Bureau of Standards seized dozens of scales that were not approved for commercial trade.Acting Executive Director of the GNBS, Evadnie Enniss, said the surveillance exercise within Georgetown and its environs was carried out by a team of Inspectors to check and verify that weighing devices/scales were stamped by the bureau to ensure commodities comply with national standards and quality requirements.Enniss said, “it was amazing to see what was found after the operation was finished.Dial scales are not approved for commercial trade, but approved for domestic trade.The condition of some of the devices shows the glass was either broken or removed,Cheap Soccer Jerseys, they are being strapped with all manner of things like rope, wires,Wholesale Jerseys China, plastics…consumers should be aware that if they go to any place and shop and they see domestic scales, they are not approved for commerce and persons will be robbed. That is why they are seized and destroyed.”She explained that one type of scale that is approved is the equal arm red scale which should also be verified by the GNBS.“Some of them were in such horrible conditions that roaches came out of the scales that are used to sell food. People are buying foodstuff from these scales,Blank Arsenal Jersey UK, and they are to be blamed since they are allowing vendors to sell them on devices as that.We want the public to know that we will not tolerate that, so vendors should look out for the GNBS.”Enniss said that when inspectors visited the Mc Doom,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, East Bank Demerara fish wharf,Wholesale Jerseys China, many fishermen were seen throwing their devices into the bushes.
