For devices that are inaccurate, the necessary adjustments are made and security seal affixed to the adjusting mechanisms to prevent tampering.If a subsequent check is conducted by Inspectors of the GNBS and the affixed seals are found to be tampered with or removed, the operators or owners can face prosecution. This is to maintain the integrity of the verification process.David said that if for one reason or another, a verified measuring device is not functioning properly, and cannot be verified immediately, the Inspector would seal the dispensing nozzle to prevent further usage of that device until its accuracy can be verified.“The entire verification process is intended to protect both suppliers and consumers. When a pump is over delivering fuel, the station is selling at a financial loss. If a pump is under delivering, then consumers are being short-changed.Similarly, fuel terminals also need to supply the correct quantities of fuel to petrol stations that are their customers so that they too can be satisfied. Bulk meters and wagon compartments are also checked by the GNBS to maintain accuracy.”No doubt, David said, the GNBS serves as an effective interface between sellers and consumers as the organisation strives to have all weighing measuring devices used in trade verified and accurate.“Consumers, you can help the GNBS protect you by checking to ensure that you are sold the right quantity of fuel. To do so multiply the price per litre that is displayed by the quantity of fuel in litres dispensed to you.“If your answer does not correspond to the total sale indicated on the pump,Cheap NHL Jerseys Online, do not hesitate to inform the GNBS.
