The Department of Consumer Protection in Al Dakhiliyah Governorate carried out, in cooperation with the Department of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion in the Governorate, a joint inspection campaign targeting a number of gold and jewelry shops, electrical and electronic appliance stores, in addition to children’s toy shops. This comes within the framework of ongoing efforts to strengthen market oversight and ensure the protection of consumers’ rights.
The campaign aimed to verify the accuracy and calibration of weighing scales and to identify approved hallmarks in gold shops, in addition to ensuring that traders and suppliers comply with the Consumer Protection Law, its Executive Regulation, and the relevant regulatory decisions and circulars. The campaign also focused on verifying the presence of the Gulf Conformity Mark (G-Mark) accompanied by a Quick Response Code (QR) on toys and electrical and electronic devices, thereby ensuring product safety, quality, and compliance with approved standards.
This campaign also comes within the context of enhancing partnerships and integration between government entities and the private sector in implementing inspection campaigns, which contributes to raising the level of compliance among commercial establishments and achieving a more regulated market environment.
The Consumer Protection Authority affirms the continuation of its regulatory and awareness efforts in cooperation with the relevant entities, in a manner that contributes to providing a stable and safe marketing environment that meets consumers’ needs and guarantees their rights.
