Authorized Scale Certifications
What does this mean for Food Retailers?
In order for your scales to be legal for trade, they must be certified and re-labeled every five years.
How can this be good for my business?
Knowing your scales are properly calibrated and certified means that you are not under-charging or over-charging your customer. If your scales are “weighing too light” you are losing a percentage of your sales volume.
What happens if my scales do not have a current certification?
There is a potential government seizure of scale and potential federal fines of $2,000 to $50,000.
