Why Participate? Those that sell produce and other items by weights must have their scales certified annually. Scales need to be NTEP approved to be legal for use in North Carolina to comply with laws dictated by the NCDA&CS. The Measurement Section of the NCDA&CS, among other duties, inspects weighing and measuring devices for accuracy (scales, scanners, motor fuel dispensers, fuel oil meters, and many other devices). Please note that only NTEP approved/"Legal for trade" scales are eligible to be certified by NCDA&CS and used for sales.

WALK-INS ARE WELCOME before 11 AM, though registration is encouraged to ensure adequate personnel.
