Is your scale certified " legal for trade"

It is also important to know where you plan to place the scale. A scale needs a solid, level surface so information on placement location helps the installation process. If a scale is moved to a different location, the scale’s calibration should be checked so a report can be sent to the county stating that the scale is within tolerance.
If you have a legal for trade scale it is important to have the scale periodically checked for accuracy. Depending on how inaccurate a scale is, upon county inspection, the scale could be tagged and taken out of service.

In the event of this, the scale must be repaired or recalibrated within a certain period of time. Once the scale is back intolerance a report will be sent to the county and the scale can be used again. Because of situations like this, it is important to have a reliable scale company that will get your scale back in service to avoid the scale being down for a long period of time.
