The Registered Service Agency Program is responsible for registering service agencies and their employees who, for hire or payment of any kind, repair commercial weighing and measuring devices.

When a device needs repair, service agents have the authority to place a correct and type-approved device “in-service” for commercial use, pending reinspection by a Weights and Measures Official.  This allows you to use your device immediately.  If someone other than a licensed Service Agent repairs a device, that person cannot place the device into service and must wait until a Weights and Measures official inspects the device before it can be used for commercial purposes.

Each Registered Service Agency/Agent must notify the County Sealer of the repairing or placing into service of any commercial weighing or measuring device. The notice shall be in writing and transmitted to the county sealer within 24 hours following the repair.
