Weighbridge Calibration Standards in Uganda – Smart Weighing Kampala

In Uganda, the accuracy of weighbridges plays a crucial role in trade, transport, agriculture, construction, and logistics. To ensure fair trade practices and compliance with the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS), every weighbridge must undergo calibration in line with specific weighbridge calibration standards. These standards define the tolerance limits, frequency, procedures, and certification requirements that guarantee accurate weighing results.

At Smart Weighing Kampala, we not only supply quality truck scales, axle weighbridges, and calibration manuals, but also provide calibration services and guidance on UNBS-approved standards to keep your operations compliant and reliable.

What are Weighbridge Calibration Standards?

Weighbridge calibration standards are official regulations and guidelines that dictate how weighbridges should be:

• Tested using certified test weights or standard loads.

• Verified for accuracy within allowable error margins.

• Documented with proper calibration records and certificates.

• Maintained and recalibrated at regular intervals.

These standards ensure that businesses and government agencies using weighbridges operate within legal metrology requirements in Uganda.
