Consumer Protection

Enterprise Singapore oversees consumer product safety regulations to ensure that the products suppliers put on the market are safe. We also keep consumers informed about the latest product safety information. As the national body for legal metrology, we regulate weighing and measuring instruments for trade use to ensure fair transaction of goods and to protect the interests of both consumers and businesses.

For Suppliers
Regulations and Guidelines for Suppliers
While product safety is a shared responsibility among the government, suppliers, consumers and other stakeholders, suppliers have the prime responsibility to ensure they sell safe products. They must comply with the relevant product safety regulations and ensure their products do not pose a safety risk to consumers.

Traders must comply with the Weights and Measures Act to ensure accurate transactions and give consumers peace of mind knowing that they get what they pay for.
