What Is Weighbridge Calibration Verification?

Weighbridge calibration verification is the process of testing and adjusting a weighbridge to ensure it provides accurate readings within national and international standards. In Uganda, this process must be carried out by authorized and certified technicians who use standard test weights and reference equipment.

Calibration involves:

• Comparing the weighbridge reading against certified weights

• Adjusting the scale for accuracy

• Verifying compliance with Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS)

• Issuing a calibration certificate valid for trade and compliance

Why Is Weighbridge Calibration Important in Uganda?

Businesses and institutions often ask: “Why should I calibrate my weighbridge?” Here are the main reasons:

1. Legal Compliance – UNBS requires regular verification of all weighbridges used for trade. Without a valid calibration certificate, your business can face fines or even closure.

2. Accuracy in Trade – Every kilogram matters when weighing trucks carrying fuel, cement, grains, or livestock. Incorrect readings can lead to financial losses.

3. Avoid Penalties from UNRA – Overloaded trucks cause road damage. An inaccurate weighbridge can result in wrong readings, leading to fines.

4. Protect Equipment & Goods – Proper calibration ensures trucks are loaded safely, reducing breakdowns and accidents.

5. Customer Trust – Accurate measurements build credibility with clients, especially in logistics, farming, and manufacturing.
