Weighbridge Calibration Report in Uganda – Smart Weighing Kampala

A weighbridge calibration report is an official document that verifies the accuracy and reliability of your weighbridge after calibration and testing. In Uganda, this report is not just a formality—it is a legal requirement under the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) for any weighbridge used in trade, transport, or industry.

At Smart Weighing Kampala, we provide professional weighbridge calibration reports in Uganda after every service, ensuring your equipment remains compliant, accurate, and certified for business operations.

What Is a Weighbridge Calibration Report?

A weighbridge calibration report is a certificate issued after a weighbridge has been calibrated and verified using certified test weights. This report details:

• The weighbridge model and serial number

• Calibration date and location

• Test weights used

• Load cell and indicator performance

• Accuracy test results

• Adjustments made (if any)

• Technician’s signature and certification

• Expiry date for the next calibration

This official report proves that your weighbridge complies with Ugandan legal metrology requirements and is safe for trade.

Why Do You Need a Weighbridge Calibration Report in Uganda?

Many businesses often ask: “Why is a calibration report necessary?” The answer is simple:

1. Legal Compliance with UNBS – Without a calibration report, your weighbridge cannot legally be used for trade.

2. Proof of Accuracy – Protects your company in case of disputes with customers, suppliers, or regulatory bodies.

3. Avoiding Penalties – UNBS inspectors and UNRA roadside checks require proof of calibration; lack of documentation can lead to fines.

4. Audit & Record Keeping – A report provides traceability for audits, insurance, and international standards compliance (ISO).

5. Operational Safety – Ensures trucks are not overloaded, reducing accidents and vehicle breakdowns.

How Often Should You Get a Calibration Report?

• Annually – For most industries, UNBS requires yearly weighbridge calibration reports.

• Every 6 Months – For high-traffic weighbridges (factories, borders, fuel depots).

• After Repairs or Relocation – Any time a weighbridge is moved or serviced.

• When Accuracy is Suspected – If readings seem off, immediate recalibration and a new report are necessary.
