The Ministry of Science and Technology of Vietnam issued Circular 09/2017/TT-BKHCN on June 27, 2017 specifying the permissible shortage amount in retail commerce.

Circular 09 stipulates the permissible shortage amount for spring dial scales in Vietnam as specified in the following Table:

Spring Dial Scale	Permissible Shortage Amount ( must not exceed )
	1 d	2 d	3 d
	Weight of Goods to be Weighed (m)
Scale 500 g (d = 2 g)	40 g ≤ m ≤ 100 g	100 g < m ≤ 400 g	400 g < m ≤ 500 g
Scale 1 kg (d = 5 g)	100 g ≤ m ≤ 250 g	250 g < m ≤ 1 kg	-
Scale 2 kg (d = 10 g)	200 g ≤ m ≤ 500 g	500 g < m ≤ 2 kg	-
Scale 4 kg (d = 10 g)	200 g ≤ m ≤ 500 g	500 g < m ≤ 2 kg	2 kg < m ≤ 4 kg
Scale 5 kg (d = 20 g)	400 g ≤ m ≤ 1 kg	1 kg < m ≤ 4 kg	4 kg < m ≤ 5 kg
Scale 8 kg (d = 20 g)	400 g ≤ m < 1 kg	1 kg < m ≤ 4 kg	4 kg < m ≤ 8 kg
Scale 10 kg (d = 50 g)	1 kg < m < 2,5 kg	2,5 kg < m ≤ 10 kg	-
Scale 12 kg (d = 50 g)	1 kg < m ≤ 2,5 kg	2,5 kg < m ≤ 10 kg	10 kg < m ≤ 12 kg
Scale 15 kg (d = 50 g)	1 kg < m ≤ 2,5 kg	2,5 kg < m ≤ 10 kg	10 kg < m ≤ 15 kg
Scale 20 kg (d = 50 g)	1 kg ≤ m ≤ 2,5 kg	2,5 kg < m ≤ 10 kg	10 kg < m ≤ 20 kg
Scale 30 kg (d = 100 g)	2 kg ≤ m ≤ 5 kg	5 kg < m ≤ 20 kg	20 kg < m ≤ 30 kg
Scale 60 kg (d = 200 g)	4 kg ≤ m ≤ 10 kg	10 kg < m ≤ 40 kg	40 kg < m ≤ 60 kg
Scale 100 kg (d = 200 g)	4 kg ≤ m ≤ 10 kg	10 kg < m ≤ 40 kg	40 kg < m ≤ 100 kg

In the case of using scales not specified in the above table, the permissible shortage amount must not exceed 2 times the allowable error limit for the initial verification of the scale used.
