Legal for trade scales
A planning checklist. Confirm the current details with the state, maker, and software vendor.
Work through the checklist
- Record the required capacity and smallest measured amount.
- Ask the maker for the exact model’s NTEP certificate number.
- Read the certificate in the NCWM public database.
- Ask your local weights and measures office about approval and inspection.
- Confirm software support separately from scale certification.
These are general planning steps. They do not replace your state rules or the vendor’s setup instructions.
