Details

This system helps Measurement Canada decide where and when to conduct inspections of weighing and measuring devices in the marketplace. It uses machine learning to predict which devices or areas pose the highest risk of non-compliance with the Weights and Measures Act. The system is used by government employees to prioritize enforcement activity — it does not directly affect members of the public, though businesses subject to inspection may be influenced by its outputs.
