Untested measuring instruments were used in kindergartens of the capital

The Department of the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Ministry of Technical Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Astana conducted preventive control without visiting 60 state nurseries-gardens of the Akimat of Astana.

As a result, it was revealed that the measuring instruments used in kindergartens for the prevention of diseases (medical scales, a height meter, a blood pressure measuring device, thermometers for measuring body temperature) were not subjected to verification during operation. This is a violation of the requirements of Article 19 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan  «On ensuring the uniformity of measurements».

The Department has sent recommendations to the nursery gardens to eliminate violations.
