Every day, Americans make purchase decisions - at the grocery store, gas pump, filling a propane bottle for their barbecue, or ordering home heating oil. These diverse daily necessities have one common ingredient: they are all sold by weight or measure and you can trust that the measure is accurate because of a national weights and measures program. It is the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) and your state weights and measures program that provides confidence that you will get what you pay for.

Oregon's Measurement Standards Division assures consumers that the weight or measure of food and nonfood products, services or commodities purchased in Oregon is accurate. We verify scales, gas pumps, and meters statewide to ensure they are accurate.
