What is NTEP?
The National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) is an evaluation program administered by the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM).
Type evaluation is the process whereby weighing and measuring devices are extensively examined to determine if the performance, operating characteristics, features and options of a particular device complies with the applicable requirements of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 44.

What does Legal For Trade mean?
Refers to the fact that a scale has passed NTEP evaluation and has received a Certificate of Conformance (COC). Often stated by the manufacturer as "NTEP Approved, Legal for Trade." back to top

What exactly does it mean when a scale's capacity is stated as 5,000 lb x 1 lb?
This means that the total weighing capacity of the scale is 5,000 pounds, and 1 pound is the smallest increment of weight that the scale will display.

Do I need an NTEP scale?
If you will be using the scale in commerce, most states require an NTEP approved scale. The four states that do not require NTEP COC are North Dakota, Texas, Vermont, and Rhode Island.
