Site Selection:
Choose a site at a key entry/exit point to weigh trucks before they enter or after they leave a facility.
Operational Standards:
Adhere to approved operational hours and ensure the site is well-maintained and free from debris, ice, or mud that could create hazards.
Regulatory Compliance:
Ensure all weighing operations comply with legal metrology department regulations to avoid penalties and fines for stakeholders.
Technology Integration:
Select a site that can be easily connected to a network for automatic data transfer to a central server, which is crucial for modern weighbridge operations.
Safety Protocols:
Follow strict safety measures during the operation of the weighbridge, including adequate lighting, handrails, and ventilation, especially in areas where dust or gases may accumulate.
Excise Registration:
Require all bidders, including those at multiple levels, to obtain excise registration and submit cenvatable invoices for excisable goods unless exemptions apply.
