"Weights and Measures may be ranked among the necessaries of life to every individual of human society." -John Quincy Adams, 1821 The purpose of the Montgomery County Auditor's weights and measures program is to assure that equity prevails in the marketplace for both buyer and seller. The weights and measures officials in Montgomery County are responsible for inspecting over 7,200 commercial weighing and measuring devices throughout the county on an annual basis. Also, they inspect packaged goods to ensure the consumer is paying for only the net weight of the product and not the packaging around the product. All weights and measures inspectors are required by law to receive training and certification from the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Division of Weights and Measures. Inspectors must pass a series of 20 lessons and 2 extensive exams, as well as attend 18 hours of continuing education class per year to maintain their certification. | ||
