SINGAPORE: Authorities have received applications from six antigen rapid test companies seeking to manufacture or assemble test kits locally, said Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling in Parliament on Wednesday .

She added that authorities “welcome” these applications, given that there are currently no companies manufacturing or assembling such kits locally. Outlining the process of approval for retail sale, Ms Low said ART kits have to meet"stringent standards of quality, safety and performance", and must be verified for their accuracy when used by consumers.

This is necessary because ART kits are to be used widely by members of the public in self-test settings.
