Consumers are encouraged to check for the National Compliance and Regulatory Authority (NCRA) verification stickers on fuel pumps and measuring devices to ensure they receive accurate quantities of the products they purchase.

Speaking during a World Accreditation Day 2026 webinar, hosted by JANAAC Global Accreditation and the Bureau of Standards Jamaica (BSJ), Interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the NCRA, Tracey-Ann Elliott, explained that the authority’s accredited inspection programme assures the accuracy and fairness of fuel dispensers, supermarket scales, and other measuring instruments used in trade.

“Accreditation is really about trust… and while consumers often do not see inspectors at work, they experience the benefits every single day,” Elliott disclosed.
