Weighbridge Service

BOBS Weighbridge:

Located at Ramakukane Road, opposite Oriental Plaza in Block 3 Industrial, the BOBS weighbridge services include the weighing of bulk weights, loaded or empty haulage trucks or trailers.
The verification of these weighbridges gives third party assurance for both the trader and the purchaser and also aids in enforcement of other legislation on loading of vehicles.

Weighbridge Certification Services:

Weighbridges used for trade must be pattern/type approved and then verified (12 months cycle) by an inspector in accordance with the requirements of the Weights and Measures Act Cap 43:06 and the test procedure for Non Automatic Instruments to ensure;

  • - They measure to within the maximum permissible errors
  • - They comply with their certificate of approval and the requirements of the Weights and Measures Act.
A verification sticker is applied to weighbridges which meet these requirements. If a weighbridge fails verification or re-verification it is rejected and a rejection sticker is applied. Rejected weighbridges shall not be used for trade until they have been repaired and re-verified to assure their continued compliance with requirements.

BOBS is committed to maintaining in strict confidence all information accessed while rendering the certification services and shall ensure that such information is not divulged to third parties without the Client’s written consent unless if required by law.
