Weights and Measures (US)

Weights and Measures (US) is a set of standards and regulations that ensure consistency and fairness in the way products are weighed, measured, and priced. They govern the use of tools like scales, meters, and balances in commerce to verify accuracy. This system protects consumers from inaccurate pricing and ensures businesses follow uniform practices. Managed by federal and state agencies, it covers everything from grocery items and gasoline to industrial measurements, helping maintain trust, safety, and fairness in trade.
