Fore word
This booklet is one of outcomes of the APEC Seminars and Training Courses in Legal Metrology titled ‘Train the Trainer Course on the Verification of Mechanical Weighing Scales’ which was held on September 25-28, 2007 at the Rex Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. This course was organized as a follow-up of the past training course on Non Automatic Weighing Instruments, yet this time we put focus on the mechanical weighing instruments. This training course was, again, arranged as one of the APEC TILF projects, CTI-25/2007T. This training course was organized by APLMF and supported by (1) Directorate for Standards and Quality (STAMEQ) and (2) National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ). Having this result, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all the staffs of STAMEQ and two speakers from NMIJ. Also, special thanks should be extended to the APEC Secretariat for their great contributions.
We have conducted the survey among the APEC member economies concerning seminar and training programs in legal metrology to find their needs as well as possible resources available in the region. The survey showed that there is still a strong need for repeating training course on Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments especially emphasized on the practical training on verification on mechanical weighing scales which are widely used in the member economies. Regardless of its heavy use, the legal metrology on mechanical scales has not been well established in developing economies. We looked at this point and determined to serve for the members’ demand.
The target of this training course was the experts in charge of verification on mechanical weighing instruments in the APEC/APLMF member economies. The main objective was to experience and learn the actual operation of verification on the instruments by hands-on exercise. The contents of the training course were based on the procedures practiced in Japan which are complied with the international standard recommended by OIML. Also, the training provided an opportunity to share and compare information on the method and status of verification being done in participated economies.
In this view, this training course gave a sure basis of confidence in verifying the highly demanded instrument in the APEC/APLMF member economies. I would like to say that this is certainly a valuable step to fruitful activities in legal metrology related to mechanical weighing instruments in the Asia-Pacific region.
I am really pleased to have this outcome from the seminar and again deeply appreciate the
APEC Secretariat’s generosity in contributing to the development in legal metrology among the APLMF member economies.

Summary Report
According with the rapid growth of the globalization of international trade, the compliance to the international recommendation OIML R76 has become a major issue for the APLMF member economies in the field of non-automatic weighing instruments (NAWI), which is one of the most important categories of instruments in legal metrology. In order to accommodate such trend, the APLMF Working Group on Training Coordination chaired by Mrs. Marian Haire of Australia has given much effort in organizing a number of training courses in the last few years.
However, the R76 as well as the past training programs put much focus on electrical weighing instruments and did not give much consideration to the mechanical weighing scales regardless of its heavy use in the member economies. This area is in which our members are interested for the training course. To respond to such demand, the Working Group determined to organize the fist training course designed only for mechanical scales. From the area of specialty, Mr. Kazuo Neda and Mr. Tsutomu Horikoshi of the National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ) determined to serve as trainers for this training course.
Based on such background, the Train the Trainer Course on the Verification of Mechanical Weighing Scales was held from September 25th to 28th, 2007 at the Rex Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. As you can see in the title, the course put emphasis on verification procedure and aimed to train the future trainers who would lead in training programs in their home economies. This training course was jointly organized by APEC and APLMF with supported by the Directorate for Standards and Quality (STAMEQ) in Viet Nam and National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ), AIST.
A total of 36 trainees including 20 local trainees attended this course from the following 15 economies: Cambodia, Chile, PR China, Hong Kong China, Indonesia, DPR Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, Chinese Taipei, Thailand and Viet Nam. In addition, many staff from the STAMEQ, Quality Assurance and Testing 3 (QUATEST3) and Nhon Hoa Spring Scale Manufactory Co. Ltd. in Ho Chi Ming City contributed to the course. From the Secretariat, Dr. Tsuyoshi Matsumoto of NMIJ and Mr. Li Jinsi of Beijing Institute of Metrology in PR China attended the course.
On Tuesday the 25th, the training course started off with the opening ceremony. Dr. Ngo Quy Viet, Director General of STAMEQ welcomed all participants with his opening address and send them words of encouragement. After his speech, Dr. Matsumoto as the APLMF Executive Secretary gave an address. After the opening ceremony, each economy delivered a short presentation about the current situation on the verification of NAWI including mechanical scales in their economy. Then, Mr. Neda gave the lectures starting with the basic understandings of mechanical weighing scales. In the evening, the host provided a welcome dinner at the factory of the Nhon Hoa Spring Scale Co. in Ho Chi Minh City.
On Wednesday the 26th, Mr. Neda continued his lectures on technical requirements for mechanical weighing scales based on the OIML R76. In the afternoon, practical training on each verification test item was conducted in groups of eight using brand new mechanical scales provided by the host economy accompanied with set weights. All trainees worked very hard on each activity under the instruction by Mr. Neda and Mr. Horikoshi and enthusiastically threw many questions.
On Thursday the 27th, all participants continued the practical training in the morning. After the practice, Mr. Neda gave a lecture on test methods for verification practiced in Japan as an example.
In the afternoon, all participants left the hotel by bus prepared by the host and visited the testing center of QUATEST3 located in suburb of Ho Chi Minh City. At the testing center, they were impressed by the advanced facilities for verification and calibration in several fields of metrology. After the visit to QUATEST3, they also visited a factory of the Nhon Hoa Spring Scales Co. also in Ho Chi Minh City. This company is one of the largest manufacturers of mechanical scales in Viet Nam. At the factory, they leaned all procedure of mechanical spring scales production. In the evening, APLMF provided a farewell dinner at the Cung Dinh Restaurant in the Rex Hotel. The delegates and assistant staffs from the host economy were also present the dinner.
On Friday the 28th, each of the eight groups demonstrated what they leaned by using a scale and an overhead projector in reply to the several assignments given by the trainers. After the demonstrations, the closing ceremony was held. Certificates of completion were granted to all 36 trainees from Mr. Tran Van Dung, Director of QUATEST3 who represented the host economy. The ceremony was closed with remarks from Mr. Tran and Dr. Matsumoto.
On departure of the trainees for home, they were granted a CD-ROM that contains text books, reports from the trainees and photos taken during the course. These materials are also available on the APLMF member’s website.
Finally, the Secretariat would like to give our sincere and deepest gratitude to the hard work and dedication by the staffs of the STAMEQ represented by Dr. Ngo Quy Viet, QUATEST3 represented by Mr. Tran Van Dung, and Nhon Hoa Spring Scale Manufactory Co. Ltd. represented by Mr. Ly Sieng. In addition, we greatly appreciate the dedicated efforts by the two trainers, Mr. Neda and Mr. Horikoshi who provided well prepared lectures and materials with kind care for all trainees. Also, we can never forget the tremendous support from the Secretariat of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) although their representatives could not attend this training course.

Mr. President,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
My name is Zhu Xuming, come from Shanghai Institute of Measurement and Testing
Technology. On behalf of our economy, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you for
inviting me to the training course!
In my economy, non automatic weighing instruments usually means scales. It is classified
into three categories, such as electronic weighing scales, mechanical scales using a spring and
mechanical steelyards. For example in shanghai, non automatic weighing instruments used in
trade commerce may be found in supermarket, agora, shop and so on. Most of them are the
price-computing instruments and price-labeling instruments which maximum capacity is 15 or
30 kilogram. In industry, enterprise in metallurgy, chemical, machine, harbor affairs, logistics
etc. also use electronic truck scale, hopper scale, bench scale, electronic steelyard and so on.
Our government implements the measurement law, and measure organization authorized by
the government will perform the verification, re-verification and type approvals. Verification
period of these instruments will be administered according to their verification regulations,
annually in general. My economy adopts JJG 555-1996 Verification Regulation of non
automatic weighing instruments to be nearly equivalent to OIML R76.
I enjoyed training and talking to you, and sharing the time together. As we say, well begin
is half done. I hope we will be able to maintain this good relationship and make further
another great one together.
I wish the conference a great success.
Thank you.

The principal function is the defense of the consumer opposite to the unjust practices in the relations of consumption, assuring conditions of quality and competition in the provision of goods and services on the market. Check and Alertness. The PROFECO, across the Check and Alertness General management of the Sub attorney’s office of Check, it’s in charged of monitoring that the legal metrology of the country is fulfilled, across the alertness of the Federal Law of Protection to the Consumer, Federal Law on Metrology and Standardization, official Mexican procedure and any other standard in the matter, emitted by the Secretariat of Economy; Across his departments of check, particular case the Department of Metrology Checking, which takes charge of checking and monitoring official Mexican procedure applicable to instruments of measurement, providing the supplier and user, safety about the quality and quantity of the products and services that are commercialized, avoiding this way, conflicts among suppliers and consumers.
1.2 Professional experience inside the organization The general management of Check and Alertness, across the Department of Checking, coordinates and supervises the actions of checking in legal metrology, by the alertness of the Official Mexican Procedure relative to instruments of measurement, on agreement to the established programs; additional it coordinates and supervises the services of check for calibration and adjustment of instruments of measurement by request of divides principally, beside taking part in the committees and subcommittees of normalization in the matter. 2. Non automatic weighing instruments in the Mexican economy. Inside the Mexican economy, diverse instruments are in use for measuring and determining the price or tariff of the products or services that are commercialized, among these the most important are the instruments of measurement of not automatic functioning, named scales, which are used in commercial transactions on public markets, flee markets, malls, supply centers, that is to say, those in which it is important the weight of the product to determine the price to be paid by the consumer. In this respect, Profeco carries out actions to check the functioning of the scales, as well as of other instruments of measurement, monitoring that the above mentioned instruments indicate the quantity in weight of the products that are acquired and that the consumer should possess(should rely on) the sufficient information to distribute the appraised quantity, which allows the supplier to realize in a more efficient way his commercial labor, on having guaranteed that the scales are in appropriate conditions of functioning. 2.1 What are the major purposes of NAWI To give fulfillment to the Federal Law on Metrology and Standardization, although this one indicates that in any commercial, industrial transaction or of services, which is carried out based on quantity, this one will have to measure up using the instruments of measuring adapted, for which, the scales are the instruments of measurement adapted to determine the weight of a product and to estimate the cost of the same one. 2.2 How many manufacturers NAWI in Mexican economy? We do not possess reliable statistics, it’s estimated that they are about 40 scales producers in Mexican economy. 2.3 Do you know the approximate number of the production of NAW? Does not possess the information 2.4 Do you know the (%) of instruments of measurement of not automatic functioning It’s estimated that in Mexico they are in use: - 2,150,000 scales of low scope - 1,250,000 scales of medium scope - 63,000 scales of high place reach
(a) For the electronic scales It estimates that 39 % of the previous information. (b) For the mechanical scales using a spring 60 % of the previous information (c) The mechanical balances using a girder and weight. 1 % of the previous information. 2.5 Which is the class of accuracy and the maximum capacity, of the most used instruments in general? Ordinary and average, it is the class of accuracy of the instruments of measurement most used in the Mexican economy, with capacity of measurement from 1 to 5 000 kilograms. 3. System of legal metrology in the Mexican economy. Since already I mention, the organization, structure and operability of metrology in Mexico, it is sustained in the dispositions(regulations), limits and criteria from the General Conference of Weight and Measures (CGPM), Legal's Metrology International Organization (OIML) the Convention of the Meter and the International Office of Weight and Measures (BIPM). The Federal Law on Metrology and Normalization constitutes the legal foundation on Metrology and Measurement. This Law establishes the General System of Units of Measure according to the International System of Units (SI), gives the National System of Calibration (SNC) as a way of official recognition and accreditation of laboratories that give services of calibration and creates Metrology National Center(CENAM) that acts as primary Laboratory of the National System of Calibration, which function consists on giving technical services of certification and calibration that try to get the uniformity and reliability of the measurements that are realized in the country related the commercial and service transactions so much as in the industrial processes and in the scientific investigation(research) and technological development. The PROFECO plays an important roll on the fulfillment of the legal Metrology, by means of the check of the binding of the Federal Law on Metrology and Standardization , Official Mexican Procedure and other regulations in the matter, for which takes charge monitoring that the instruments and methods of measurement related to the technical and legal requirements, assure exact measurements that should guarantee the transparency and equity of the commercial transactions and to guarantee the relations of consumption in goods and services. 3.1 Who carries out the operability of the binding of the regulations (Government, Institute of the metrology, the check corps, test laboratory, etc.)? The PROFECO takes charge checking that Official Procedure are binding by the established in The Federal Law of Protection to the Consumer, Federal Law On Mexican Metrology and Standardization , as well as the List of instruments of measurement which its initial or periodic or extraordinary check is obligatory, and the rules to carry out it.
3.2 Describe briefly the types of instruments to weigh and his scope of measurement, which they are covered by the standardization in the matter. Inside the context of the instruments for non automatic functioning, there are in use the scales, which are divided as follows: Mechanical Scale: Fit out instrument with mechanical components that when we load up on the receptor brings strength over the crowbar, crowbar system or spring, that switched on the warning device provides of readings in units of mass. Electronic scale: Instrument equipped only with electronic components, which on having placed a load on the recipient exercises a force on a transducer of efforts or set of them, which connected to the warning device, provides readings in units of mass. Electromechanical scale: Instrument equipped with mechanical and electronic components, which on having placed a load on the recipient of load exercises a force on a lever or a system of levers connected to a transducer of efforts or set of them that in turn connected to the warning device provides readings in units of mass. Since already it was mentioned, the majority of the scales that are in use inside Mexican economy, are inside a scope of measurement of 1 up to(even) 1 500 kilograms, which happen of as it is established on the Official Mexican Norm NOM-010-SCFI-1994, Instruments of measurement - instruments for not automatic functioning - technical and measurement requirements. 3.3 Is the initial check and the re-check needed? If it is affirmative, that organization realizes the check? Is all the time the re-check period? How much checking is realized in one year? Do they increase or diminish? About the instruments of measurement which initial, periodic or extraordinary check is obligatory and the rules to carry out it, the owners of new scales are forced to request the initial check of the instrument, later and in an annual way. If the scale presents variations in the result of the measurements or loses the condition of checked instrument, they will have to request an extraordinary check. About the Instruments above-mentioned, the checking requests can be presented to the Profeco or to the particular companies credited for it, known as Accredited Units of Check (Uva's). Annually the Profeco carries out the checking by request of part, closely of 7000 scales among 1 and up to 1, 500 kilograms. 3.4 Are approvals needed? If it’s affirmative, how many approval tests are realized in one year? Of conformity with the Federal Law on Metrology and Standardization, the measurement instruments made on national territory or imported and that are subject to official Mexican norm, need, previous marketing, approval of the model or prototype.
In this respect, it is the general management on Procedure of the Secretariat of Economy, is in charged of requesting the necessary for the model (models') approval or prototypes of the scales. 4. Explain the current situation in your economy on the conformity to the international standards, such as OIML R76? Although the metrology in Mexico, is sustained on regulations, limits and criteria come from the General Conference of Weight and Measures (CGPM), Legal's Metrology International Organization (OIML) the Convention of the Meter and the International Office of Weight and Measures (BIPM), likewise, relies on the general system of units and measures, which is based on the International System, Mexico possesses the Official Mexican Standard NOM-010-SCFI-1994, Instruments of measurement – non automatic functioning weight instruments - technical and metrological requirements, applicably to the instruments named scales. Official Mexican Standard, of which PROFECO checks the binding in those instruments of measurement that are used in commercial transactions. 5. There are other requirements in your) economy? Are there any problems to put the metrology legal system in execution (budget, human resources, etc.)? The regulations mentioned previously in the text, is the in force one in the Mexican economy. The principal problematic of the country, diffusion of the regulations is quite poor, for what ignorance on the same exists and conjugates with the lack of interest to get up-to-date in the matter.
