The Institute for the Protection and Consumer Protection of Maranhão (Procon-MA) and the Institute of Metrology and Industrial Quality of Maranhão (Inmeq-MA) made during the morning of Friday (1) an inspection operation in the international São airport Luis, Hugo Marechal da Cunha Machado.
On site, the tax Procon and Inmeq, body representing the Inmetro in Maranhao, conducted a survey in 28 scales of counters to check-in and baggage for airlines. Weighing tests, eccentricity and fidelity were made in passenger loads.
The chairman of Procon-MA, Duarte Junior, test idea is not to harm the consumer during boarding or disembarking. "It is very important that this opportunity the consumer know we are aiming to ensure that service and all this report will support research towards the ultimate improvement of our airport," he said.
In weighing the tax measures used ranging from 100 grams to 70 kilograms. Fidelity certifies the results are repeated for each new measurement and eccentricity exam ensures that all areas of the scale, and not only the center of it, register the correct weight of the load.

No balance was reproved. Unlike what occurred in May this year when the Inmeq inspectors found six scales with irregularities. Companies made repairs on time and now all are properly certified.
The President of Inmeq-MA, Geraldo Carvalho Junior, says consumers can avoid being injured while traveling preventing some aspects of the functioning of the balance. "I wanted to draw the attention of viewers about when they come to the airport in any kind of balance three things are important to check. First is to verify that the seal Inmetro is up to date; it goes to the following year; second is to check if you have yellow or green peck and third verify the weight is noticeably on the balance display. The display has that is readable. You can not have any deleted segment. This is important".
According to Duarte Junior, an important tip is to weigh luggage before arriving at the airport, and observe the results hit. He adds that if the consumer feels wronged by paying unduly for excess baggage, for example, a plane ride, the passenger should demand compensation for damages.
"If it is charged to the consumer a value more that you should. It features a collection and the consumer has the right to receive this value monetarily, but it is very important to avoid any inconvenience to the consumer at the time of weighing stay tuned and demand their rights, "he pointed out the President of Procon-MA.
