“Cracking down on ‘inaccurate measurements’ and ‘cheated scales’, electronic pricing scales will be subject to monitoring in Hebei, Zhejiang, and Fujian as pilot areas”

Hebei Province, Zhejiang Province, and Fujian Province will carry out pilot programs for the supervision of electronic weighing scales, aiming to combat situations where weights are falsified or scales are used to cheat. In these pilot areas, greater emphasis will be placed on the measurement inspection and law enforcement checks of electronic weighing scales to ensure market fairness. Regulatory measures include regular random inspections, technical monitoring, and joint law enforcement to ensure that weighing equipment is accurate and compliant.
