BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- Brunei's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) officially launched the "Measure Right, Fair Trade" awareness campaign on Nov. 9.
In a press release issued on Tuesday, the ministry said the campaign aims to ensure that all weighing and measuring instruments used for trade in the country are accurate and verified in accordance with the Weights and Measures Act.
The ministry said accurate measurements help protect consumers from unfair business practices by ensuring they pay for the actual quantity of goods received.
It also contributes to fair competition among businesses and safeguards the value of commercial transactions, particularly in the country's industrial and export sectors.
As part of the campaign, businesses and companies across various sectors are required to declare all weighing and measuring instruments used for trade by Jan. 1, 2027. ■
