State Weights and Measures Offices

State weights and measures offices enforce laws and regulations
about the labeling, weight, measure or count of such packaged items
as food and household products. These offices also check the
accuracy of weighing and measuring devices, for example,
supermarket scales, gasoline pumps, taxicab meters and rental car
odometers.

Some city and county offices have weights and measures functions,
in addition to the state offices listed below. Contact the state
office for the appropriate weights and measures office or check
your local telephone directory under the government listings for
your local weights and measures office. The office might be listed
under either the city or county bureau of standards, agriculture or
consumer protection.
