Scale Testing

(Updated: May 6, 2022, 5:16 a.m.)
If you buy, sell, or trade items based on weight, you need to have your scales certified annually. (Unless purchased brand new less than 1 year ago.) Scales need to be NTEP approved to be legal for use in North Carolina to comply with laws dictated by the NCDA&CS.
