To whom it may concern:

In response to your question regarding a scale license for a medical marijuana dispensary, any scale that is used to determine charge based upon a weight and price per pound or other unit of weight would fall under the weights and measures licensing requirements. A scale used solely for the purpose of packaging uniform sized containers of commodities (e.g. 2 oz, 4 oz, etc. packages) might not be required to be licensed.

Furthermore, any scale used to determine a charge based upon weight must have a National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) Certificate of Conformance issued for the device. Any device used commercially (to determine a charge) that does not have an NTEP certificate, will be in violation of state law.

Feel free to contact me if you have further questions.

:thumbsup: Beautiful!!!! Thank you.


Notice that "legal for trade" scales cost considerably more than the head shop scales most dispensaries use.
