The law looks obsolete, unjustified, or duplicative.

Summary

This ordinance implements the higher-level quantity-declaration regime with detailed technical rules for bulk sales and prepackages. It specifies how quantity may be determined in special cases, when goods may be sold by piece rather than weight or volume, and sets granular measurement and testing methods for drained weight, frozen goods, shrinkage, self-service tare handling, and product-specific cases such as bread, cheese, sweets, fruit, vegetables, wood pellets, and other packaged goods.

Verdict reason
This is classic micromanagement by ordinance: product-by-product exceptions, technical measurement prescriptions, and detailed packaging rules that burden trade and compliance far beyond any clear institutional necessity shown in the text. The law substitutes bureaucratic enumeration for market practice and contract, creating rigidity and overhead in ordinary commerce.
