Algiers, Algeria – The Ministry of Internal Trade and Market Regulation has announced the acquisition of eight state-of-the-art mobile laboratories, manufactured entirely within Algeria. This initiative aims to significantly enhance the nation’s capacity to monitor and control the quality of imported goods.
The announcement was made today in Algiers by the Minister of Internal Trade and Market Regulation, Amel Abdelatif. The Minister emphasized the crucial role these mobile labs will play in safeguarding consumer health and ensuring compliance with national quality standards.
“These mobile laboratories represent a significant step forward in our efforts to protect Algerian consumers,” Minister Abdelatif stated. “By deploying these advanced units at key entry points, we can conduct on-site inspections and testing, ensuring that imported products meet the required safety and quality benchmarks.”
The domestically produced mobile labs are equipped with advanced testing equipment, enabling rapid and accurate analysis of a wide range of imported materials. This will allow for immediate identification of substandard or potentially harmful products, preventing their entry into the Algerian market.
This investment underscores the government’s commitment to strengthening its regulatory framework and promoting fair trade practices. The deployment of these mobile laboratories will not only protect consumers but also support local industries by ensuring a level playing field in the market.
The Ministry anticipates that the increased surveillance capabilities will deter fraudulent activities and encourage importers to adhere to the highest quality standards. The mobile labs are expected to be deployed across various ports and border crossings in the coming weeks, bolstering Algeria’s import control mechanisms.
