Frequently Asked Questions
Is the license fee pro-rated for limited use?
License fees are not pro-rated. A device used to buy or sell, even between two private parties, is a commercial device and must be licensed. The license fee is based on the cost of testing a device; the costs involved in testing do not vary with the use of the device.
How are fuel pump devices counted?
Each fuel grade at each island is counted as 1 device. Each of those grades must be licensed. Our inspector's test based on NIST Handbook 44 guidelines, therefore they inspect each grade. They test the meter and the blending valve.
Will Registered Service Company test substitute for the ISDA W&M test?
No. Title 71-117 Idaho Code requires commercially used devices to have a State Seal to show they have been approved for use. A Registered Serviceman has the authority to place into service new equipment or rejected equipment that has been repaired until this equipment can be inspected and tested by ISDA W&M.
