Legal-for-Trade Inspection & Certification
When scales are used for commercial transactions, pricing by weight, or custody transfer, legal-for-trade certification is typically required by state and local weights and measures authorities.
What is Legal-for-Trade?
Legal-for-trade refers to weighing equipment used in applications where weight determines the value of a transaction, such as buying and selling commodities, shipping charges, pricing by weight, or determining custody transfer quantities.
Legal-for-trade scales must meet applicable accuracy, equipment, and inspection requirements set by state and local weights and measures authorities. Michelli can help customers understand the appropriate inspection path for their application and location.
Equipment Requirements: Applicable scale type and approval requirements depend on the application and jurisdiction.
Periodic Inspection: Most states require annual or periodic inspection and certification.
Certified Test Weights: Inspection must use traceable, certified test weights.
Licensed Technicians: Service must be performed by licensed or authorized personnel.
