Amman Chamber of Commerce meets heater and greenhouse traders to discuss safety standards

The Amman Chamber of Commerce held a meeting with traders, importers, and manufacturers of heaters and greenhouses on November 15, 2026. The session focused on addressing administrative challenges and establishing safety standards for the sector. Mohammed Abu Odeh, Chairman of the Amman Chamber of Commerce Management Committee, led the discussions regarding the technical and commercial requirements of the industry.

Prioritizing consumer safety and standards

Mohammed Abu Odeh emphasized the importance of the heater and greenhouse trade sector in meeting the essential needs of citizens. During the meeting, the Chairman stressed the necessity of adhering to approved specifications and standards to protect consumers, traders, and importers. Mohammed Abu Odeh stated that protecting citizen health and safety is a non-negotiable priority. He also noted that adherence to standards is essential to protect consumers, traders, and importers and to build trust in local market products.

The discussions highlighted the need for a regulatory environment that ensures product quality while maintaining a functional marketplace. The participants addressed how technical compliance serves as a foundation for market trust. By following established protocols, the sector aims to provide reliable heating and agricultural solutions to the public. The meeting underscored that safety requirements must be integrated into the commercial activities of the heater and greenhouse industry.

Addressing technical and administrative procedures

Traders involved in the meeting discussed various administrative and technical procedures currently affecting their operations. These discussions included the review of approved inspections and the development of mechanisms for handling previous stock. The participants sought ways to streamline these processes to prevent commercial disruptions.

A primary concern raised by traders was the logistical and financial impact of current inspection protocols. Traders requested the provision of technical inspections within the Kingdom to ensure product quality and safety while reducing financial burdens. By conducting these inspections locally, the industry aims to maintain high safety standards without incurring excessive costs related to international logistics or external testing. This request reflects a desire for a more efficient regulatory framework that supports local commercial activity.

Institutional support and market stability

The Amman Chamber of Commerce serves as an institutional reference for defending the interests of traders and overcoming obstacles in their business. To support the sector, the Amman Chamber of Commerce committed to following up on trader concerns with the Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization and other relevant authorities. This coordination is intended to resolve technical bottlenecks and ensure that regulations are applied effectively.

The ultimate goal of the meeting was to balance public safety requirements with market stability and the commercial nature of the activity. By facilitating dialogue between manufacturers and regulatory bodies, the Amman Chamber of Commerce aims to create a sustainable environment for the heater and greenhouse trade. The organization intends to act as a bridge between the private sector and government agencies to ensure that safety regulations do not hinder the economic viability of the industry.
