Yeonggwang-gun to Conduct 'Legal Measuring Instrument Regular Inspection' Starting from the 13th

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 9th that it will conduct regular inspections of legal measuring instruments such as scales from the 13th to the 27th to establish sound commercial order and protect consumers through accurate scale measurements.

The regular inspection of measuring instruments is conducted every two years on scales under 10 tons used in markets, shopping districts, and stores for commercial transactions, including manual plate scales, dial plate and dial scales, and electric dial scales.

This regular inspection will be conducted as a mobile inspection according to the inspection schedule for each eup and myeon, and the inspection items include type approval and verification status of the measuring instruments, whether the usage error exceeds the limit, and whether there is any tampering.

If the measuring instruments are attached or if there are many in stock, on-site inspections can be conducted upon prior application.

Scales calibrated by a national calibration institution in 2021 or 2022, with results within the usage error of the scale, as well as household, educational, and reference scales, are excluded from the inspection target.

Scales that pass the regular inspection will have a "Regular Inspection Pass Certificate" attached, and those that fail will have a "Usage Suspension Mark" attached, guiding users to have them repaired or disposed of.

A county official stated, "If you use scales for commercial transactions without undergoing the regular inspection, you may be fined up to 1 million won, so it is essential to receive the inspection within the designated period."
