Abstract: At present, when market regulatory authorities at all levels issue work deployment documents, they often emphasize the importance of measurement instruments in certain areas by proposing requirements for "full coverage" of mandatory verification. While the intention behind these requirements is commendable, in practice, achieving full coverage is often unfeasible, and in some areas, it is also unnecessary. Such an approach runs counter to the broader policy environment aimed at streamlining administration, delegating power, and reducing burdens on grassroots levels. Moreover, it does not align with the technical resources currently available to grassroots metrology institutions. This article takes the verification of electronic scales in farmers' markets as an example to propose suggestions for enhancing the relevance and practicality of mandatory verification work.
