How long is a weighing or measuring device approval valid when sealed by the Office of Weights and Measures?
A. South Dakota Codified Law prohibits commercial transactions utilizing a weight or measure or measuring or weighing device that has not been sealed by the Office of Weights and Measures within two years. An inspector in your area will inspect and test the device periodically to determine its accuracy and suitability for continued commercial use. Inspection frequency varies by the type of device. Gasoline pumps and retail scales inspections are every two years, and heavy scales inspections are normally conducted annually.
