Minister of Consumer Affairs accepts the fact that bogus SLS certificates are issued:
In order that goods manufactured are of a standard quality the SLS certificate is issued. This was the view of the public for some time. This certificate is issued by the Bureau of Standards, Sri Lanka which had been familiar with consumers for decades.
Manufacturers of consumer goods scramble to obtain this SLS certificate before they market their products. To obtain the SLS certificate the goods manufactured should be of a high quality. However it has been revealed that even low quality goods are issued with the SLS certificate through friendship. Today Minister Jonston Fernando disclosed that consumers are disguised over this practice. He exclusively mentioned about ‘cement’ and not of other items. When the Minister himself talks about bogus SLS certificates what redress do the consumers get?
