CCCS assumes safety and metrology duties from 1 July

The agency will now serve as a single point of contact for issues relating to fair trading practices, product safety standards, and accurate trade measurements.

The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) will expand its regulatory scope starting 1 July, assuming responsibility for consumer product safety and legal metrology previously managed by Enterprise Singapore.

With the enforcement of the Competition (Amendment) Act 2025, both the Consumer Product Safety Office (CPSO) and the Weights and Measures Office (WMO) will come under CCCS oversight. The agency will now serve as a single point of contact for issues relating to fair trading practices, product safety standards, and accurate trade measurements.

The move is expected to enhance regulatory consistency, market integrity, and business confidence, reinforcing Singapore’s status as a reliable business hub.

To ensure service continuity, CCCS and Enterprise Singapore are working together to facilitate a smooth transfer with minimal disruption. Existing certificates, registrations, and regulatory requirements issued by CPSO and WMO will remain valid and enforceable under CCCS authority.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
