FAQ

Sales

A trade approved scale has been tested by the National Measurement Institute of Australia and been found to comply with the weighing regulations governing trade transactions. When the unit is approved for trade by the N.M.I. it will carry a distinctive approval number that should be in clear view. Although a scale is approved for trade by the N.M.I. it still must be certified by a licensed scale certifier and a compliance certificate issued. Able Scales is licensed to certify scales and provide this certification.

If the scale weight reading contributes directly to the final transaction price then yes you will need a trade approved scale. This is most commonly where the weight is directly multiplied by a price per weight unit to achieve a total price. When pre-packing goods into random weight packages, i.e. each weight is different and therefore so is the price, then a trade approved scale would be required. If pre-packing to a nominal weight, ie a 5 kg bag of product, then a trade approved would most likely not be required. As a rule of thumb it is always prudent to check with your local trade measurement authority regarding your particular application to ensure you make the correct equipment selection.

Generally a balance weighs to a lower resolution than a scale. E.g. a typical balance may weigh 3kg x 0.01g and a scale 300kg x 100g.
