The law seeks to ensure that goods in the Jordanian market conform to the prescribed technical regulations.  In order to do so, the law provides the JSMO with the authority to examine existing goods in the market as well as those which enter the Jordanian border crossings.

The amendments provided under the Law are substantial and include giving the JSMO the authority to confiscate counterfeit products and to raid shops suspected of selling or making counterfeit products.  Through the Law, the JSMO and its employees have broader powers to exercise their mandate and to examine goods to ensure: 1) conformity with the technical regulations, 2) that they are not replicated or counterfeited, and 3) that they possess original trademarks.
