Amman, July 18 (Petra) — The Jordan Standards and Metrology
Organization (JSMO) announced that its laboratories have performed
approximately 82,000 laboratory tests on various products since the
beginning of the year to verify compliance with national standards
and technical regulations.

JSMO Acting Director General Wafa Al-Momani stated that the technical
and regulatory inspections follow international best practices aimed
at ensuring market product safety, bolstering consumer confidence,
and supporting national industrial competitiveness.

The testing volume included approximately 28,000 laboratory
evaluations conducted on food items, detergents, lighting equipment,
and mineral oils. Additionally, JSMO inspected 41,500 measuring
instruments and pre-packaged containers, verified petroleum product
quality at fueling stations across the country, and tested 12,500
gold and silver jewelry samples to secure fair trade and consumer
rights.

Regulatory updates within the framework included the issuance of 283
new Jordanian standards and technical regulations designed to
modernize the legal infrastructure and align with recent
technological and industrial shifts.

The newly introduced regulations targeted several sectors, focusing
on lubricating oils, secondary batteries, electric vehicle (EV)
batteries, electrical cables, road EVs, conductive charging systems,
compressed natural gas (CNG), construction materials, and insulation
products.

The updates also covered energy management systems, adventure
tourism, toy safety, cosmetics, and food product labeling

modernization and sustainable economic frameworks.

The organization reaffirmed its ongoing collaboration with government
entities, private sector representatives, and academic institutions
to draft specifications that match international benchmarks.

JSMO confirmed that these infrastructure quality developments align
with the country’s Economic Modernization Vision to protect
consumers, support the local business environment, and increase the
access of Jordanian goods to regional and international markets.
