Al-Marsad Newspaper: The Government Communication Center disclosed the most important information on the weight of the only country used in measurement operations, which is kept in the National Center for Measurement and Calibration.
Engineer Nawaf Al-Shammari explained detailed information about this “weight”, indicating that it is kept inside a safe, and is only opened once every 5 years under the supervision of a specialized team, and with strict procedures.
What is the weight?
And in between, these scales are stored in specially prepared places away from any heat or itching and any conditions that affect them.
Al-Shamrani explained the reason for this, because if the stored weight is affected, all other scales in the Kingdom will be affected, regardless of whether it is used in laboratories, treatments and medicines.
Gold and fuel deposits
Protective gaskets
Standardization poster
And Al-Shamrani concluded: “Regarding gold deposits, we make sure that the scale is calculated correctly in the purchase and sale operations, through a standardization poster.
And he added, that is, many tests have been done on the balance, and it has been confirmed that the balance reads correctly, and a certificate of verification is provided after completion, as well as a standardization sticker on the balance to indicate the date of issue of the sticker and date of compilation.
