According to the standards body, manufacturers, assemblers and importers have been given a grace period since last year to fade out existing products that do not meet the new standard.
The Head, Lab Electrical and Electronics, Alewu Achemasaid, at an awareness programme that the organisation is set to hit the market to commence implementation and enforcement going forward and won’t want any company to be penalised. Responding to how the organisation seeks to tackle importers of used air-conditioners and refrigerators, he said, SON’s purview doesn’t cover that area and the organisation doesn’t have any power to implement such standard, adding that Nigerians should rather be educated to desist from purchase of such products because they are not efficient and that is why those developed countries push them into our market.
