ZAMBIA 'ZCSA' SEIZED AND WITHDRAWN FROM THE MARKET MORE THAN 10,557 CASES OF NON-COMPLIANT POTABLE SPIRITS VALUED AT K1, 033,260 IN LUSAKA. (PHOTO).

 



The Zambia Compulsory Standards Agency (ZCSA) has seized and withdrawn from the market more than 10, 557 cases of non-compliant potable spirits valued at K1, 033, 260 in Lusaka. 


This is because suppliers had no permit to supply the products on the market contrary to the provisions of sections 15 and 21 of the Compulsory Standards Act No. 3 of 2017. 


Agency Public Relations Officer Onishias Maamba says the products had no batch numbers and manufacturing dates as required by the relevant compulsory standard, thereby making it difficult for the Agency to guarantee the safety of the merchandise.


Mr. Maamba explains that the non-compliant potable spirits were seized and withdrawn from Chaisa, Matero, Makeni townships and Chinika Industrial area in Lusaka.  


He says Samples of these products have been taken to the laboratory for further analysis in a quest to inform the next cause of action. 


Further,Mr Maamba has disclosed that the Agency has seized 58 pressing irons at Makeni Mall in Lusaka for having non-compliant top plugs valued at K20, 479.42. 


He says these enforcement actions were conducted over the weekend during spot checks to assess the registration status of manufacturers and suppliers of potable spirits and household electrical appliances on the market. 


He says the agency is warning of punitive measures against entities which are manufacturing, importing and supplying products on the market without complying with the laws of Zambia.
