The Council further stated that it will conduct inspections and monitoring campaigns throughout July 2019 to ensure that all measurements made in sales and purchases are using the metre unit, and that all shops have the appropriate measurement tools for the purpose.
"This comes in line with the objectives set by Abu Dhabi's plan to build a sustainable and globally competitive economy," Sultan Al Mehairi, Director of Information Services and engagement at QCC, said, adding, "the implementation of the metric system is an important step in consolidating measurement units used in the country in line with the strategy of the council and its role as a contributor to economic growth through adopting international best practices."
He went on to say that many countries of the world apply metric units of measurement, as the metric system takes into account all international requirements that contribute to reducing barriers to intra-trade, and provides mutual recognition in the fields of measurement and calibration services.
