Accurate scales are a mandatory requirement in several industries:: Although a couple of grams may not seem like much, there are industries that require meticulous precision. An inaccuracy of a couple of grams might seem like such a small thing, but imagine if, when buying a prescription drug, you were told that the amount of active ingredient in a capsule is not precisely known? Regulations of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 210 "Neautomātisko svaru atbilstības novērtēšanas noteikumi" defines the sectors where it is mandatory to use only verified scales. In trade and production, verified scales must be used for mass determination in commercial transactions and for fee calculation in trade and packaging of goods. In medicine and pharmacy, calibrated scales are used to determine mass to prepare prescription drugs, in medical examinations and pharmaceutical laboratories, as well as to determine body weight in medicine, to assess and observe the physical development of patients, diagnose disease and determine treatment.
