Jang-an District Conducts Training for Legal Weighing Instrument Inspectors

Jang-an District will conduct a comprehensive survey of legal weighing instruments, including electronic display scales used for commercial transactions, through the 25th of this month, as these are closely related to citizens' consumer activities.

In connection with this, a preliminary training session for survey inspectors was held on the 8th. At the meeting, Department Head Park Seung-jae emphasized, "Since the instrument survey serves as the foundation for the regular inspection of weighing instruments to maintain fair commercial transaction order, the investigation must be conducted thoroughly."

Target businesses for this survey include grain shops, produce markets, butcher shops, precious metal sales retailers, gas stations, and scrap dealers. All weighing instruments that have been in use for more than two years since the manufacturing certification of devices that underwent regular inspections in 2010 will be subject to the survey.

Target businesses must undergo inspection on their weighing instruments currently in use for commercial transactions during the district's patrol inspection visits.

A district official stated, "Based on the survey results, we plan to conduct regular patrol inspections by district starting in June and will carry out inspections on weighing instruments used by businesses to maintain precision and prevent the use of illegal weighing instruments."
