The Malawi Bureau of Standards conducted a verification exercise for weighing instruments in the Tea Industry in Thyolo and Mulanje districts.
This exercise was done from 8th to 12th November 2021 as part of routine activities that the Bureau carries out in ensuring that the weighing facilities used in different sectors of the economy are up to standard and are also being used correctly.
As one of the sectors that makes a significant contribution to the country’s economy, checking the integrity of the measuring facilities used in the Tea Industry is an important function. Checking the facilities helps to promote fair trading practices and also plays a role in consumer protection.
