Dubai to check weighing scales in all shops

In bid to promote trust between seller and customer, Dubai Central Laboratory of Dubai Municipality has launched an initiative called ‘Accurate Balance’ aimed at checking the accuracy of weighing scales in all types of commercial outlets. 

It comes as the continuation of similar initiative launched by DCL in the beginning of the year to check accuracy of weighing scales in gold and jewellery shops which boosted the gold and jewelry trade in the emirate.

During the current phase the laboratory will verify weigh machines in supermarkets, hypermarkets, sweet shops, cooperative stores, butchery houses, restaurants, fish and vegetable markets, cargo companies and airports.

The legal calibration in the future will include all legal measuring instruments, including but not limited to medical devices, taxi meters, fuel meters, pre-packaged containers, volumetric weights and compressed gas counters etc.
