Jangseong-gun to Conduct Regular Meter Inspections Starting from the 23rd

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 20th that it will conduct regular inspections of measuring instruments (scales) at eup/myeon administrative welfare centers and traditional markets from the 23rd of this month to the 10th of next month.

The targets are non-automatic commercial scales (platform manual scales, dial and platform dial scales, electric dial scales) under 10 tons that have received type approval.

If scales are used for commercial or certification purposes at butcher shops, large retail stores, fish markets, traditional markets, etc., regular inspections must be conducted once every two years in even-numbered years according to Article 30 of the Measurement Act.

During this inspection, the county plans to focus on checking the appearance and seal status of the measuring instruments, zero and level adjustment capabilities, and errors within the measurement range.

If the inspection is passed, a certificate of approval will be attached; if failed, the measuring instrument must be repaired and inspected again. A usage suspension notice may be issued, and the scale may be discarded.

A county official said, “If a measuring instrument without an approval certificate is used for transactions or certification, a fine may be imposed, so please be sure to have it inspected within the designated period.”

For more details, contact the county office’s Economic and Transportation Division.
