The Regulations mandate the use of the mark by producers and traders in respect to any product concerning which Eritrean standards have been issued unless the institution temporarily waives the enforcement of such standards. The procedure for application to use the mark and the permission to use same is expressly provided for in the Regulations. Failure to use the mark may result in the institution cancelling the permit of the producer/trader, or require the producer/trader to cease producing or trading in the product.
