The California system today is reliable because of the oversight provided by the California Department of Food and Agriculture\u2019s<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdfa.ca.gov\/dms\/\"> Division of Measurement Standards <\/a>(DMS), working in partnership with county sealers of weights and measures.<\/p>\n<p>Every day, Californians buy fuel for their cars, food for their family, or pay to park their cars.\u00a0 All of these transactions involve measurements of some type, and it\u2019s critical that they be accurate. There are a total of 1.4 million devices in California that are used in commerce.\u00a0\u00a0Employees of DMS and the counties make sure the devices work correctly. They also check that prices charged are the same as advertised and that packages actually contain the stated amount of product.\u00a0 This verification protects the integrity of commerce,\u00a0which is\u00a0required for trading worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The state&#8217;s\u00a0oversight of weights and measures costs the average California family about a penny per day, or about $3.65 per year.\u00a0 This \u201ccommon cents\u201d is affordable insurance to make sure everyone gets what they pay for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 &#8220;Weights &amp; Measures may be ranked among the necessaries of life to every individual of human society.&#8221;\u00a0 -John Quincy Adams,\u00a0sixth US president.
