Measurement Q&A

The Measurement Law stipulates that "the" scale "(specified measuring instrument) used for transactions and certifications must be marked with a certification seal and undergo periodic inspections every two years." I am.

For "scales" that have passed the periodic inspection, the "periodic inspection certificate" is attached to the front of the "scales".
Note) As an alternative to periodic inspections, in the case of "substitute inspections" performed by a measurer or "inspections at appropriate measurement management establishments", the marks attached are different.

Periodic inspections are inspections stipulated in the Measurement Law and have a different meaning from the maintenance performed by the manufacturer. Periodic inspections are requested to be taken on a specified date.

"I will be punished with imprisonment for up to 6 months or a fine of up to 500,000 yen." However, before applying the penalties, we ask that you comply with the Measurement Law in order to prevent troubles between the parties.
