The Weight and Measurement Agency (WMA) is a regulatory body responsible for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of measurements used in trade, commerce, and industry. It oversees the enforcement of standards for weights and measures, ensuring that products sold to consumers are accurately labeled and conform to legal measurement requirements. The WMA plays a critical role in maintaining fairness in the marketplace, preventing fraud, and protecting consumer rights by regularly calibrating and verifying measuring instruments such as scales, meters, and thermometers. It also works to harmonize measurement practices with international standards, contributing to global trade and scientific progress.
