The subject of the verification process were large weighing scales (60 tons) used for weighing wheat, corn, barley and other agricultural products, typically located at collection centers.
The periodic verification of large weighing scales during the harvesting season is a crucial process to ensure the accuracy of agricultural product weight measurements and to guarantee fairness in transactions between farmers, collectors and processors.
Following this verification process, which includes accuracy checks and a technical inspection of the scales, the Kosovo Metrology Agency has affixed verification marks on 58 large weighing scales (60 tons) verified during this year.
The verified scales used in manufacturing, agriculture and logistics services enable accurate measurements, leading to improved product consistency and compliance with European quality standards.
The Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship and Trade (MIET) aims to protect consumers, foster fair competition and prevent fraudulent practices.
Through the verification of weighing instruments, MIET strengthens consumer confidence that they are receiving the correct quantity and ensures that businesses compete on equal terms, knowing that their competitors are adhering to the same standards.
Businesses that use verified weighing scales demonstrate their commitment to legal compliance, thereby avoiding potential fines, legal consequences and damage to their reputation.
