WHAT INFORMATION
IS ACTUALLY ON THE
CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMANCE?
Quite
often customers will contact us and ask questions about legal for
trade scales that they wish to use at a farmers market or to weigh
candy out by the pound. One of the questions that comes up every now
and then is "can I get the certificate of conformance"?
Actually when you buy the NTEP certified legal for trade scale you
will not get the actual CoC but you will see the CoC# usually located
on the side of the scale. In fact we recently did a complete report
on how to read the label on the side of your
legal for trade scale. See an actual Certificate of Conformance
copy below.
The
certificate of conformance basically shows an overview of who makes
the scale and what the specifications are. It usually includes the
capacity and readability and some of the key features. It also will
mention which models are approved. Every now and then a manufacturer
will have several capacities of a particular model and perhaps one
or two of those do not meet NTEP standards. If that is the case, they
usually will mention it somewhere on the certificate. The form also
mentions which load cell was used in the scale that was tested.

Our price computing scales are NTEP legal for trade and have CoC numbers.
