Electrical Dealers Hail Products Registration
The Electrical Dealers Association of Nigeria (EDAN), Alaba International Market, says the registration of products by Standard Organisation of Nigeria, has curtailed the sale of sub-standard goods in the market.
The association’s Public Relations Officer, Mr Felix Apunonu, said this in an interview with newsmen in Lagos recently.
Apunonu said the registration process, which commenced in 2011 with the establishment of Alaba Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) Desk, had achieved tremendous result.
He said: “since the introduction of the SON desk, importation and sale of sub-standard products has been reduced to its barest minimum.
“Product registration has contributed greatly in reducing the circulation of sub-standard goods in the market.
“The registration is compulsory and requires every electrical dealer to register his product using his company name.
“The company’s name is inscribed on the product after payment of the requisite fees, and the registration is renewable after three years.
“I must state categorically that since the commencement of the registration process, the association has achieved over 65 per cent reduction in the sale of sub-standard goods.’’
Apunonu said that after registration, a dealer is issued a “SONCAP’’ to identify his products.
According to him, it is now very easy to trace dealers with sub-standard goods, since the name of the company is clearly inscribed on the product.
“It has also succeeded in reducing the importation of inferior goods because the products will eventually be traced to its owner,” he said.
The spokesman told newsmen that registration of product also gives a dealer exclusive right to his registered product and prevents imitation of products.
