An NTEP scale can have weighing specifications of 2,100 g x 0.01 g, but can only be certified for a weight of 2,100 g x 0.1 g. It`s important to be aware of this before buying a scale to make sure it meets the absolute accuracy required by your industry. Once the scale is sealed by the technician, it will be locked in NTEP mode and you will not be able to access the non-NTEP resolution without breaking the seal. You should look for the NTEP Certificate of Conformity to ensure that the scale you want to purchase has been approved by the weights and measures managers and has passed its testing process. You will always need to have your trade balance inspected before use and can contact your regulator for local and national requirements. Each state may have different regulations and you always want to make sure you follow all the rules that have been established. Such a rule may include the request for a duplicate display so that the customer can read the weight on the scale. In the case of a jewelry scale, you may need to purchase an additional display that can be positioned in the clear view of the customer making the purchase. Certified scales are required when a product is weighed and sold directly to the customer, based on the weight indicated.

In the United States, you must seek NTEP approval with a valid certificate of conformity. Officials of the Department of Weights and Measures may perform checks on scales to ensure they are legal for trade with appropriate inspections. Scales must be NTEP approved in all types of industries such as hospitality, jewelry retail, and pharmaceutical preparation. Farm stalls, supermarkets or delicatessens that sell meat or fruits and vegetables per pound must ensure that their scale is NTEP certified and is put into service by an authorized person in the operating state prior to use. A popular feature of a certified retail scale is the price calculation. In the US, you will never want to buy a pricing scale that is not legal for trade as it would be illegal to use it. Certified scales have a CC number that allows you to retrieve the official document from the National Conference of Weights and Measures website that describes the specific model you own or plan to purchase. This document indicates whether the NTEP is approved for a certain unit of measurement and whether the counting function is legal for trading, as this is not the case in most cases, with the exception of prescription balance sheets.
