On September 12, information from the Long An Market Management Department said that it was coordinating with relevant units to verify and handle a gas station in Nhi Thanh commune, Thu Thua district, Long An regarding the error of the measuring device used to sell gas and oil that exceeded the permitted regulations many times.
Specifically, when Market Management Team No. 6 coordinated with relevant departments and branches to inspect this gas station, it was discovered that the RON 95-III gasoline pump had a measurement error displayed on the pump of +4.5%. Meanwhile, the DO 0.05S II oil pump had an error of up to +6.5%.
Both of these pumps are still within the inspection period. Meanwhile, according to the regulations in current Vietnamese technical measurement documents, the maximum allowable error is ±0.5%.
The Circular of the Ministry of Science and Technology also stipulates that the error in the measurement results of gasoline and oil must not exceed 0.75% of the positive limit of the allowable error on the measuring device used to sell gasoline and oil.
In addition, the People's Committee of Long An province has just issued a decision to fine more than 626 million VND to a gas station on Provincial Road 824, Duc Hoa Thuong Commune, Duc Hoa District for violating product quality regulations.
Specifically, the Long An Province Interdisciplinary Inspection Team 389, when inspecting and taking samples of RON 95-III gasoline at this gas station to send for quality testing, discovered that the octane value in the gasoline was only 94.4%. While the lowest regulation must be 95%.
The Long An Market Management Department also added that since the beginning of 2024, the unit has handled 7 gas stations that violated regulations. The total fine was more than 748 million VND. These gas stations mainly violated the regulations on selling prices, signs, conditions, registration of sales hours and violations on gasoline quality.
