The Ghana Electrical Contractors Association (GECA) has urged the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) and the Energy Commission to speed up the process for the passage of the law on electrical accessories.
According to the Association, when the law comes into force, it would help to weed out unscrupulous dealers from the Ghanaian market.
“As we await the passage of the proposed law, we encourage certified electrical engineering inspectors to enforce the use of materials approved by GSA,” the Association said in a press statement issued on Friday.
The statement comes after the Ghana Standards Authority had identified that about 6,000 fake electrical products were on sale in the Ghanaian market.
The GECA noted that identifying good electrical products is a daunting task and, therefore, cautioned electrical wiring practitioners and the general public to be wary.
It encouraged all to buy their electrical materials from credible, tried and tested dealers as they are likely to offer quality and value for money.
