Original Title: "Error Tape" Exposes Multiple Problems "Error Tape" Exposes
Multiple Problems "The length of one meter can also have a fake '?". " Recently,
a netizen posted that a "non-standard, error tape measure" was sold on the
Internet. The merchant made it clear that the scale of the tape measure was
different from the normal one. According to the customization, the length of 80
centimeters could be marked as 1 meter. Even the tape measure was normal in the
first 3 meters and began to "shrink" from the 4th meter. Some decoration
practitioners told reporters that some practitioners use such tape measures for
profit, suggesting that owners bring their own tape measures when decorating.
(Beijing Youth Daily, 8 January) "Error tape" is a kind of fraud to change the
measurement value by adjusting the distance between scales through conscious
"error", so as to achieve profit. The "error tape" has reached the point where
it can be "customized" and sold openly, which exposes many problems. In fact,
the emergence of "error tape" is not surprising, there are illegal
manufacturers,
bra
tape measure, illegal businessmen, and even illegal users, all want to use
"error tape" to cheat money, but the development of "error tap" is so
"mature",
personalised
tailor tape, obviously not a matter of a day or two. How to fight with the
"error tape"? The first problem exposed by the "error tape" is that the penalty
cost is not high. In 2018, the state has cancelled the license for manufacturing
measuring instruments, but the production, sale and use of such "error tape"
still constitute consumer fraud, and the manufacture and use of such special
rulers are illegal, but the question is how many people have been punished by
law? On June 17, 2014,
garment
measuring tape ,
bra
measuring tape, Inner Mongolia Xilingol City Quality Supervision Bureau
12365 reported that the complaint telephone had received complaints from
consumers that the tape measure sold by a hardware electromechanical native
product store in the city's 109 market was not standard, which was 10 cm
different from the standard tape measure per meter, hoping that the regulatory
authorities would investigate and verify it. However, compared with many "error
tape measures", the proportion of such punishment examples is too low to have a
deterrent effect. The current Metrology Law stipulates that the use of measuring
instruments shall not destroy their accuracy and harm the interests of the state
and consumers. It is also stipulated in the Detailed Rules on Penalties for
Illegal Acts of Measurement that in marketing activities, those who use
measuring instruments of non-legal units of measurement shall be confiscated of
the measuring instruments; those who use unqualified measuring instruments and
cause losses to the state or consumers shall be ordered to compensate for the
losses, confiscate the measuring instruments and all illegal gains, and may also
be fined not more than 2000 yuan; Those who use measuring instruments for the
purpose of deceiving consumers or impair the accuracy of measuring instruments
or forge data, thus causing losses to the state or consumers, shall be ordered
to compensate for the losses, confiscate their measuring instruments and total
illegal income, and may also be fined not more than 2000 yuan. If a crime is
constituted, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law. If
we can strictly enforce the law and let the vested interests of the "error tape"
and every interest chain be severely punished, this can reduce the manufacture
and use of the "error tape" to a certain extent. The second problem exposed by
the "error tap" is that the supervision is not enough. The "error tape" can be
sold openly on the Internet, which seems to have nothing to fear, which seems to
be sure that the usual inspection and supervision is not strict enough. If we
check from time to time, or can use big data to check, so that the "error tape"
has nowhere to hide, it will not be so blatant; the third problem exposed by the
"error tape" is that consumers do not have a strong sense of rights protection,
narrow channels for rights protection, and poor results of rights protection.
Many consumers simply do not realize that the tape measure can also be "fake"
and that there is such a big "error" that users benefit a lot. Once they find
that their rights and interests are damaged, they do not know how to safeguard
their rights, even if they are, how can they achieve the desired results? The
essence of "error tape measure" is "fraud tape measure". It can be imagined that
the tape measure can be so fake, but what about other measuring instruments?
Will the same happen? In addition to increasing the cost of breaking the law,
custom
tailor tape, we should strengthen law enforcement, open channels and work
together to eliminate "error tape". For other measuring instruments, we should
also take precautions and not wait until consumers are deceived before managing
them. Return to Sohu to see more Responsible Editor:.
