Why is it necessary to have regular checkup of the device of weights and measurements in the market?

It is necessary to have a regular checkup of weights and measurements in markets due to these reasons:

  1. Weights and measurements are critical pieces of information that allow individuals to quantify a variety of objects in life, from mass and length to area and volume.
  2. Commerce and trade would be impossible without regular inspection and definitions of measures and weights, and there would be no market for anything.
  3. Weights and measures supervision encourages precise measurements of production and services to guarantee that everyone in the marketplace receives a fair deal. Not coincidentally, it also serves as a disincentive to ensure that merchants follow ethical business practices.
  4. Analyze data and assess performance. Data may be used to compare predicted and actual results, also to influence a company's direction. These factors must be measured in some way to answer questions regarding enhancing sales, marketing tactics, and customer acquisition. 
  5. The measures and weights division works to ensure consistency in measures and weights laws, rules, and standards so that merchants and sellers in the market are treated equally.
