Voluntary Periodic Certification Program for Devices


The Voluntary Program is an important step towards implementing a mandatory periodic certification program for weighing and measuring devices as recommended by stakeholders during sector reviews.

It encourages businesses to have the accuracy of their scales, gasoline pumps and other measuring devices certified by accredited and registered organizations in accordance with recommended certification periods. Business participation in the Voluntary Program will contribute to improved measurement accuracy and a decrease in business and consumer financial losses due to measuring devices which do not work properly.

The resources below provide more information on program objectives and implementation, as well as answers to frequently asked questions.
