The Director-General emphasized the Authority's commitment to protecting consumers by verifying 242,764 weights, measures, and weighing instruments, exceeding its targets by six percent. Furthermore, the GSA calibrated 26,091 instruments for industry, surpassing expectations by 25%, and conducted tests on 28,375 product samples, showing a 31% increase compared to 2024.
