On 17 July 2026, the CSPH headquarters hosted crucial scientific and technical workshops, organised by the Ministry of Trade through its Directorate of Metrology, Quality and Consumer Protection.

Held under the global theme ‘Metrology to build trust in public policy-making’, these discussions brought together experts from the public and private sectors.

Key takeaways:

The challenge of traceability: As Ms Laurice CHAMAGO DAOUDA (#COTCO) emphasised, in a strategic sector such as hydrocarbons, “every drop must be rigorously traced”.

Ensuring fairness: Mr Freddy NOAH AVA (#DMQP) reiterated that the use of certified instruments is the only safeguard for ensuring fair transactions and consumer confidence.

A driver of economic governance: Metrology is essential to the oil supply chain, from the gauging of storage tanks to the monitoring of flows. It safeguards our strategic reserves and optimises transport cost-sharing.

In conclusion: This conference has set out a clear roadmap for strengthening synergies between government departments and accredited laboratories. The choice of the CSPH to host this event seems only natural: metrology is a tool for Cameroon’s trade defence and economic stability.

Reliable measurement is not an option; it is a necessity for a strong economy!
