Operating metrology and measurement system for fair trade and protection of consumer rights
 
Operation of metrology system
We pursue policies of legal metrology control and legal unit usage in order to establish a fair commerce order and protect consumer rights.
We promote the use of legal units like ' ', 'kg', etc., instead of non-statutory units like 'pyeong', 'don', etc.
We carry out periodical control on legal measuring instruments through type approval and verification, accuracy checks for metering devices, etc., before measuring devices circulate on the market.
 
Smooth implementation of advanced metrology system
We smoothly implement established systems such as recall of illegal/defective measuring devices, official announcements of violations, penalties, etc., and further provide a pre-alarm service for measuring device checks.
