§ 12514 Sealer Instrument Sales Prohibited

Key Takeaways

  • •A sealer (someone who checks scales and measuring tools) cannot sell or have any dealings with selling these tools.
  • •A sealer cannot take any money, gifts, or favors for fixing or adjusting these tools.
  • •This rule is to make sure sealers stay fair and don’t cheat when checking these tools.

Example

A sealer is offered money by a store owner to 'fix' a scale so it shows less weight when people buy things.

The sealer cannot take the money or do the favor. If they do, they are breaking the law because they are supposed to keep scales fair for everyone.
