In the United States, each State has their own regulations regarding the use of industrial scales for trade.  Customers purchasing scales for use in applications where the weight will determine the selling price are encouraged to purchase scale systems that carry "NTEP" certification.  NTEP approval is the standard sought by almost every regulatory body in the US.

What is "NTEP"?

The National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) is administered by

The National Conference on Weights & Measures in partnership with

The Office of Weights and Measures of

The National Institute of Standards and Technology
