Idaho Admin. Code r. 02.02.14.450 - REGISTRATION OF SERVICEMEN AND SERVICE AGENCIES FOR COMMERCIAL WEIGHING AND MEASURING DEVICES
01.
Policy. It is the policy of the Director of the Department of
Agriculture or the Director's duly authorized agent, hereinafter referred to as
"Director," to accept voluntary registration of (a) an individual and (b) an
agency that provides acceptable evidence that he or it is fully qualified to
install, service, repair or recondition a commercial weighing or measuring
device; has a thorough working knowledge of all appropriate weights and
measures laws, orders, rules; and has possession of, or available for use,
weights and measures standards and testing equipment appropriate in design and
adequate in amount. (An employee of government shall not be eligible for
registration). This policy in no way precludes or limits the right and
privilege of any qualified individual or agency not registered with the
Director to install, service, repair, or recondition a commercial weighing or
measuring device. (3-15-22)
02.
Reciprocity. The Director may enter into an informal reciprocal
agreement with any other state or states that has or have similar voluntary
registration policies. Under such agreement, the registered servicemen and the
registered service agencies of the states party to the reciprocal agreement are
granted full reciprocal authority, including reciprocal recognition of
certification of standards and testing equipment, in all states party to such
agreement. (3-15-22)
03.
Voluntary Registration. An individual or agency may apply for
voluntary registration to service weighing devices or measuring devices on an
application form supplied by the Director. Said form, duly signed and
witnessed, must include certification by the applicant that the individual or
agency is fully qualified to install, service, repair, or recondition whatever
devices for the service of which competence is being registered; has in
possession, or available for use, all necessary testing equipment and
standards; and has full knowledge of all appropriate weights and measures laws,
orders, rules and regulations. An applicant must also submit appropriate
evidence or references as to qualifications. (3-15-22)
04.
Certificate of Registration.
Upon receipt and acceptance of a properly executed application form, the
Director will issue to the applicant a "Certificate of Registration," including
an assigned registration number, which will remain effective until either
returned by the applicant or withdrawn by the Director. (3-15-22)
05.
Privileges of a Voluntary
Registrant. A bearer of a Certificate of Registration has the authority
to remove an official rejection tag or mark placed on a weighing or measuring
device by the authority of the Director; place in service, until such time as
an official examination can be made, a weighing or measuring device that has
been officially rejected; and place in service, until such time as an official
examination can be made, a new or used weighing or measuring device.
(3-15-22)
06.
Placed in
Service Report. The Director will furnish each registered serviceman and
registered service agency with a supply of report forms to be known as "Placed
in Service Reports." Such a form will be executed in triplicate, include the
assigned registration number, and be signed by a registered serviceman or by a
serviceman representing a registered agency for each rejected device restored
to service and for each newly installed device placed in service. Within
twenty-four (24) hours after a device is restored to service, or placed in
service, the original of the properly executed Placed in Service Report,
together with any official rejection tag removed from the device, must be
mailed to the Director at The Idaho State Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
Weights and Measures, 2216 Kellogg Lane, Boise, Idaho, 83712. The duplicate
copy of the report must be handed to the owner or operator of the device, and
the triplicate copy of the report must be retained by the registered serviceman
or agency. Also, a copy of a test report on the form used by the Bureau of
Weights and Measures or a form approved by the Bureau of Weights and Measures
must be submitted to the Bureau of Weights and Measures, 2216 Kellogg Lane,
Boise, Idaho, 83712, on livestock, vehicle and mono-rail scales.

07.
Standards and
Testing Equipment. A registered serviceman and a registered service
agency must submit, at least biennially, or as directed, to the Director, for
his examination and certification, any standards and testing equipment that are
used, or are to be used, in the performance of the service and testing
functions with respect to weighing and measuring devices for which competence
is registered. A registered serviceman or agency may not use in servicing
commercial weighing or measuring devices any standards or testing equipment
that have not been certified by the Director. (3-15-22)

Revocation of Certificate of
Registration. The Director may, for good cause, after careful
investigation and consideration, suspend or revoke a Certificate of
Registration. (3-15-22)
