KARACHI: Confidence of the consumer is always proportionate to safety and reliability of a product and this confidence can only be achieved through standardisation.

Abdul Aleem Memon Director General, Pakistan Standards & Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) said this while addressing a seminar at PSQCA head office.

The event was held in connection with the 51st World Standards Day 2020 on topic ‘Protecting the Planet with Standards’.

The objective of the seminar was to promote quality standards culture in Pakistan. Abdul Aleem Memon was the Chief Guest.

In his speech he acknowledged the fact that industrialisation, standardisation and economic growth grow together as without standardisation optimum growth cannot be achieved. Moreover, International Standards especially with regards to Pakistan is one single important factor that could direct/channelise the entire outlook of business.

He welcomed all the guests for their presence and active participation to make this seminar success.

At the international level, standards are becoming a pillar of the new global video system.
