   This site includes:

Have you ever wondered if the scale used to weigh your meats, fruits and vegetables, the gasoline pump used to fuel your car, or the meter used to measure your electricity or natural gas is accurate?

Measurement Canada, an agency of Industry Canada, ensures that you can make these, and other types of measurement transactions, with confidence. Our programs and services include evaluating and certifying the accuracy of measuring equipment, investigating complaints received from businesses and consumers who feel they have not received accurate measurement, and certifying measurement standards. We also authorize companies to verify measuring equipment on our behalf and assess the performance of these companies.

Measurement Canada sets the rules of the marketplace with respect to trade measurement and ensures that they are uniformly implemented and respected through the administration of the Weights and Measures Act and the Electricity and Gas Inspection Act.

I hope you find this site, and the information it contains, useful. If you require more information or you would like to contact us, simply go to the Questions, Comments and/or Suggestions page. We look forward to hearing from you.

President
