UNBS identifies verification of weighing instruments used in trade as part of its legal-metrology responsibilities. A service program may therefore involve inspecting the platform, load cells, indicator, wiring, and foundation, followed by the appropriate measurement checks and documentation.
Businesses should confirm which certification or verification documentation applies to their particular installation rather than assuming that calibration automatically constitutes regulatory approval. This is especially important for weighbridges used to determine quantities in commercial transactions. Companies in Uganda can arrange technical assessment according to the weighbridge capacity, application, previous service history, and condition of the equipment. Maintaining proper records can also simplify future inspections and servicing.
