What is a trade approved scale?

A trade approved scale has been tested by the Trade Measurement Unit of NZ and been found to comply with the weighing regulations governing trade transactions. When the unit is approved for trade by the TMU . it will carry a distinctive approval number that should be in clear view. Although a scale is approved for trade by the TMU it still must be certified by a licensed scale certifier and a compliance certificate issued. Weightec NZ are able to provide this certification.
