Are NTEP Certificates of Conformance recognized outside the U.S.?
The U.S. and Canada have signed a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) for certain weighing devices. The U.S. NTEP of NCWM and Measurement Canada recognize each other’s type evaluation results for the following devices: • Electronic weight indicating elements (except those that are “software based” i.e. programmed by downloading parameters); • Electronic computing and non-computing bench, counter, floor and platform scales up to 1000 kg (2000 lb) capacity; • Weighing/load receiving elements with capacities up to 1000 kg (2000 lb); and • Mechanical scales with capacities not exceeding 10000 kg (20000 lb). • Retail Motor Fuel Dispensers Each party issues their own document upon successful completion of testing (either the NTEP Certificate of Conformance or the Canadian Notice of Approval.)
