Weights and Measures Act

The Weights and Measures Act is a law that sets standards for weighing and measuring products to ensure fairness and accuracy in trade. It mandates that tools like scales, meters, and weights are properly calibrated and maintained. This way, when you buy or sell goods like food, fuel, or commodities, you can trust that the quantities are correct. The Act helps prevent fraud and protects consumers by ensuring transparency and consistency in commercial transactions. It applies to all businesses that handle measurements, promoting fair competition and public confidence.
