The Zambia Bureau of Standards (ZABS) has standardised a total of 1,136 instruments for various companies across the country in the first half of 2016.
ZABS Head of Marketing and Public Relations Hazel Zulu said the number shows an increase of 27.7% of standardised instruments from the first quarter of 2016 to the second quarter.
Mrs. Zulu explained that the Bureau standardised 499 instruments for industry between January and March this year and 637 instruments between April and June this year bringing the total of instruments standardised to 1,136.
She said the 1,136 standardised instruments reflects the Bureau’s commitment to providing quality calibration services in order to stimulate industrial efficiency and economic growth.
The ZABS Head of Marketing and Public Relations said this in a statement issued to ZANIS in Lusaka today.
And Mrs. Zulu named some of the companies whose instruments were standardised during the period under review as Ndola lime, KCM, Mopani Mine, Lubambe Mine, Sable Transport, Pamodzi Hotel, Zambia Sugar, Zambezi Portland Cement and Alfred H Knight.
Mrs. Zulu disclosed the instruments calibrated as scales, weight sets, dial indicators and measuring tapes, ovens, cold rooms, radiation thermometers and digital thermometers.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Zulu has urged other companies especially institutions such as hospitals to ensure that they standardise their instruments with ZABS to enhance their service delivery.
