Cambodian products get quality certified

About 60 Cambodian-made products have received the official Cambodian Standards (CS) stamp, officials said yesterday. Ping Sivlay, director general of the Institute of Standards of Cambodia, which designates the stamps, said most of the products were foodstuffs and that 40 additional products were still awaiting approval. Product owners initially had to pay US$100 for the CS mark, signifying that their goods were meeting the standard. That fee was changed about five months ago, however, when the Ministry of Economy and Finance issued a new prakas to raise the price to $200 for a three-year CS stamp, Ping Sivlay said. Rann Reuy
