====Supermarket and other retail scale==== These scales are used in the modern [[bakery]], [[grocery]], [[delicatessen]], [[seafood]], [[meat]], [[produce]] and other perishable goods departments. Supermarket scales can print labels and receipts, mark mass and count, unit price, total price and in some cases [[Tare weight|tare]]. Some modern supermarket scales print an [[RFID]] tag that can be used to track the item for tampering or returns. In most cases, these types of scales have a sealed calibration so that the reading on the display is correct and cannot be tampered with. In the US, the scales are certified by the [[National Type Evaluation Program]] (NTEP), in South Africa by the [[South African Bureau of Standards]], in Australia, they are certified by the [[National Measurement Institute, Australia|National Measurement Institute (NMI)]] and in the UK by the [[International Organization of Legal Metrology]].
