Weights and Measures

Our Siskiyou County Weights and Measures inspector tests a large variety of devices for accuracy; from small capacity scales used at your local farmers markets to vehicle scales for hay haulers. Any device that weighs or measures must be accurate before they can be placed into commercial use. He ensures their accuracy and that they are approved for their specific use. If the device passes inspection, the inspector places a county seal that is visible to consumer. When you see this sticker on your local grocery store scale or gas pump, you can be assured you are being sold an honest weight or measure.
