Premier Scale Services is a SANAS approved Verification laboratory for weighing equipment up to 60 000kg. This together with our Certificate of Authority from NRCS allows us to Verify scales for trade use. This includes weighbridges, gas filling scales, platform scales, butchery scales and many others. It is a legal requirement for many scales to be verified every 2 years. Many scale users are not aware of this and may be breaking the law. Penalties can range from fines to confiscation, closure or even a prison sentence. The reason for such stiff penalties is to protect consumers who need to be assured that the weights indicated are always correct i.e. if you pay for 2kg of rice you get 2kg of rice. Before selecting a scale supplier or repairer make sure that they are SANAS and NRCS accredited before you use them. Using un-accreditted suppliers could end up being very expensive.
As part of our accreditation we are audited annually by SANAS. This year the audit was over 2 gruelling days where almost all aspects of our quality system were audited. Our Quality team did exceptionally well, only 2 minor findings were made and we received numerous compliments from the audit team. We would like to thank the audit team from SANAS and congratulate our Quality team on a very successful audit once again!
