Weights and Measures Servicemen/Agencies

 

 

Serviceman Defined – ISDA W&M adopts Rules for the Registration of Serviceman and Service Agencies for Commercial Weighing and Measuring Devices. These rules define a registered serviceman as any individual who for hire, award, commission or any other payment of any kind, installs, services, repairs or reconditions a commercial weighing or measuring device, and who voluntarily registers himself with the Bureau of Weights and Measures.

 

Requirements To Be a Registered Serviceman – We will accept voluntary registration of a person that provides acceptable evidence that they are fully qualified to install, service, repair, or recondition a device; has a thorough working knowledge of appropriate weights and measures laws, orders, rules; and has available for use appropriate weights and measures standards and testing equipment. The rules in no way preclude or limit the right  of any qualified individual not registered to install, service, repair, or recondition devices. A registered serviceman testing standards must be calibrated every 2 years. The Director may, for good cause, after investigation, suspend or revoke a Certificate of Registration.

 

Placing-in-Service – A registrant has the authority to remove an official rejection tag or mark placed on a weighing or measuring device by the authority of the Director; place in service, until such time as an official examination can be made a device that has been officially rejected; and place in service, until such time as an official examination can be made, a new or used device.

 

Within 24 hours after a device is restored to service, or placed in service, an in service report must be submitted by mail (PO BOX 7249, Boise, ID, 83707) or emailed.

 

All Registered Service persons must follow the current version of National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook 44; Specifications, Tolerances, And Other Technical Requirements for Weighing and Measuring Devices. This document is adopted by reference as the stahttps://www.ncwm.com/publicationsndard for weighing and measuring equipment in the State of Idaho.
