Regulations Amending the Weights and Measures Regulations (Miscellaneous Program) were published in the Canada Gazette Part
II on February 22, 2017. The Weights and Measures Act and Regulations
govern legal units of measurement, the use of approved and examined
weighing and measuring machines that meet established technical
requirements, and the accurate measurement of products and services
traded on the basis of measure. The purpose of the minor amendments is
to correct inconsistencies between the English and French versions of
the Weights and Measures Regulations and to clarify certain sections. These amendments do
not alter the intent of the Regulations or impose new restrictions or
burdens on individuals or industry.
