Weights and Measures is a department of Santa Clara County Government. The Federal and the State Governments also have similar departments that develop policy and regulations regarding measurement standards, but it is at the county level that the majority of weights and measures laws are enforced.
On March 2, 1799, the first federal weights and measures law was signed by President John Adams. The Federal agency, the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST), began in 1901 as the National Bureau of Standards. All of the nation's weighing and measuring standards can be traced back to this Institute. State legislation was passed in 1911 establishing a County Department of Weights and Measures.
