Why QA Testing and Calibration of Weighing Equipment Are Important
Accurate weighing is essential for product quality, customer satisfaction and legal compliance. Environmental influences, physical impacts and everyday wear can affect scale performance, leading to inaccurate measurements over time. If your products are underweight, your business could face fines or legal action under Australian trade measurement laws. Regular QA testing and calibration protect your operation from costly errors and help maintain the trust of your customers and suppliers.

Industrial Scales QA Testing Frequently Asked Questions
How often should weighing equipment be calibrated?
We recommend calibrating all industrial scales and weighing systems at least once a year to maintain accuracy and meet trade measurement standards.
Do test masses also need QA testing?
Yes. Test masses can wear or become damaged over time, affecting their true mass and the accuracy of your routine equipment checks.
Can you service multiple types of weighing equipment in one visit?
Absolutely. Our technicians are experienced with a wide range of industrial scales and can efficiently test and calibrate different equipment during the same appointment.
