Bee Cheng Hiang, who makes bak kwa, or grilled meat jerky, claimed the network also makes sure measurements are made pretty. The weighing system is kept up, but team members also take extra care to set it up on a level surface.
” Every day before we weigh the goods, we will examine the level built into our level so that the readings are correct”, said Mr Liew Jiew Chiang, officer at the agency’s Bugis Village store.
MAKING SURE WEIGHTS ARE Appropriate
Earlier this month, CNA followed officers from the Weights and Measures Office of Enterprise Singapore ( EnterpriseSG) to the two stores, which are popular during the Chinese New Year season, for their spot checks on weighing instruments.
The soldiers checked the accuracy brands on the current scales, which are appropriate for a time.  , Checks are even carried out at shops, goldsmiths and yet Chinese ka cuisine stalls.
Authorities discovered 280 expired labels and unsubstantiated scales at consumer-facing businesses next month, which is about a 66 % increase from the previous year, despite the two stores passing the test.
Around 1, 200 place checks are done islandwide every month, for real stores and online businesses.
Beatrice Wong, the chairman of the Weights and Measures Office, attributed the increase to more precise assessments conducted on-site.
More specific checks would mean, for instance, that we would use data analysis to find locations where the tools or the accuracy label have already expired and that we would go down and especially check those locations, she told CNA.
Flouting the laws or having expired names could mean a great up to S$ 5, 000,  , three times ‘ prison, or both.
