Cumberland County Commissioners Recognize Local Office of Weights & Measures During National Observance

Cumberland County commissioners are recognizing the county's Office of Weights & Measures, a division of Cumberland County Consumer Affairs, as part of National Weights & Measurements Week, observed March 1-7. The annual observance highlights the importance of accurate measurement in everyday commerce, and the role local inspectors play in protecting both consumers and businesses. Officials said properly tested and calibrated devices-such as grocery scales and fuel pumps-help ensure fairness and transparency in the marketplace.

The week commemorates March 2, 1799, when John Adams signed the nation's first weights and measures law, establishing standards still used as the foundation for measurement regulation today. Across New Jersey, inspectors work year-round to verify accuracy and enforce compliance. Residents who wish to file a weights and measures complaint can submit one online through the county's official complaint form.
