Weighing System Validation & NMI Trade Verification

Ceres provides weighing-system validation, calibration and NMI trade-verification services throughout Victoria and Tasmania.

For businesses using scales to buy, sell, batch or invoice product by weight, calibration alone is not always sufficient. Trade weighing instruments must meet applicable National Measurement Institute requirements to be accepted for use in trade.

Ceres provides practical onsite weighing support together with NMI trade verification, giving clients one point of contact for the assessment, documentation and ongoing management of critical weighing systems.

Weighing Systems We Support

• Bench scales and platform scales

• Floor scales

• Batching and process-weighing systems

• Load cells and load-cell systems

• Tank and hopper weighing systems

• Weighbridges

NMI Trade Verification

Ceres provides NMI trade verification for applicable weighing instruments, including testing against the relevant NMI requirements and documentation for your records.

This is particularly important after an instrument has been repaired, adjusted, relocated or modified, or where an existing system requires verification for continued trade use.

We assess accuracy, repeatability, eccentric loading, zero and tare performance, installation condition and the broader operation of the weighing system. If an issue is found, we provide clear feedback and coordinate the appropriate repair, adjustment or re-verification work.

Load Cell Validation

Load cells are at the centre of many industrial weighing systems, yet faults are often attributed to the indicator or controller before the mechanical system and load cells are properly assessed.

Ceres can validate load-cell performance and investigate related issues with wiring, summing boxes, mechanical restraints, load introduction, system configuration and display scaling.

Managed Calibration Records

Ceres can manage your weighing equipment through our online CalBase database, providing a complete asset register, calibration history, verification records and visibility of upcoming service requirements.
