It does so through the Legal Metrology Department of its Metrology Division.
The Legal Metrology Department verifies the weights, measures, weighing and measuring instruments of corporate organizations such as Ghana Police force and a few individual set ups. It also organizes trading seminars annually for stakeholders to build their capacity on measurements and related subjects.
