§ 12711 Weighmaster Certificate Requirement

• •If you pay for something based on its weight, like fruits or scrap metal, the person weighing it must give you a certificate.
• •This certificate proves how much the stuff weighs so you pay the right price.
• •No certificate? Then the weight might not be fair, and you could pay too much.

You sell old aluminum cans to a recycling center, and they pay you based on how heavy the cans are.

The recycling center must give you a paper (weighmaster certificate) showing the exact weight of your cans so you get paid the correct amount.
