VERIFICATION AND CERTIFICATION OF MEASURING INSTRUMENTS
The
use of accurate measuring instruments used in trade is vital, as it
protects all participants in the marketing of goods and services and
promotes consumer confidence in the correctness of trade dealings
involving mass, volume, length,area and number.
Measuring
instruments used in trade must be certified at regular intervals and
after repairs as compliant with legal requirements by a SANAS
accredited laboratory. A certificate is issued and a certifying mark is
applied to the instrument.
Legal Metrology also certifies instruments when required and acts as a referee in disputes concerning their accuracy.
Please contact the laboratories to ascertain its scope of accreditation, best Measurement capability and fee structure.
