In all commercial applications where a weighing scale is sold by weight, it is a legal requirement that weighing equipment Uganda be verified as ‘legal for trade’ or ‘trade approved’. In summary, this means that the equipment (from an individual scale to a complete pre-pack line) has undergone a stringent set of tests to ensure it is sufficiently accurate and fit for purpose.
If a trade approved unit undergoes any alteration or repair, it will require re-verification to ensure that the approval remains valid.
