2021 Tennessee Code|Title 47 - Commercial Instruments and Transactions|Chapter 26 - Weights and Measures|Part 11 - Serviceperson Registration|§ 47-26-1105. Certificate of Registration

  The commissioner will review and check the qualifications of each applicant. The commissioner shall issue to the applicant a certificate of registration, including an assigned registration number if it is determined that the applicant is qualified. The certificate of registration will expire twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance.   The commissioner has the authority to designate specific classifications of registration of servicepersons and service agencies in accordance with the type, capacity, etc. of commercial weighing and measuring devices which are to be installed, serviced, repaired, or reconditioned in this state.   For the benefit of the users, manufacturers, and distributors of commercial weighing and measuring devices, it shall be the policy of the commissioner to accept registration of:  An individual; and   An agency providing acceptable evidence that such individual or agency is fully qualified by training or experience to install, service, repair, or recondition a commercial weighing or measuring device; has a thorough working knowledge of all appropriate weights and measures laws, orders, rules, and regulations; and has possession of or available for use, and will use calibrated weights and measures standards and testing equipment appropriate in design and adequate in amount.     The commissioner shall check the qualifications of each applicant to ensure that each applicant has available sufficient standards and equipment.   It shall also be the policy of the department to issue to qualified applicants, whose applications for registration are approved, a “Certificate of Registration.” This gives authority to remove rejection seals and tags placed on commercial and law enforcement weighing and measuring devices by authorized weights and measures officials, to place in service repaired devices that were rejected, to place in service devices that have been newly installed, and to provide service on commercial weighing and measuring devices.   The commissioner is NOT guaranteeing the work or fair dealing of a registered serviceperson or service agency. The commissioner may, however, remove from the registration list any registered serviceperson or service agency that performs unsatisfactory work or takes unfair advantage of a device owner.   Registration with the commissioner shall be mandatory. The commissioner shall reserve the right to limit or reject the application of any serviceperson or service agency and to revoke such serviceperson's or agency's permit.

The duplicate copy of the report shall be given to the owner or operator of the device, and the triplicate copy of the report shall be retained by the registered serviceperson or agency. This is the only acceptable form for reporting the installation of new or used weighing and measuring devices.   It is the responsibility of any registered or unregistered person or agency that sells or conveys a weighing or measuring device to an individual or establishment in this state, that will be used for commercial purposes, to complete and forward a placed in service report to the state weights and measures office as outlined in subsection (a). The placed in service report shall be completed and forwarded to the state weights and measures office regardless of whether the device is installed and/or calibrated on site by Handbook 44 procedures or factory calibrated and transported to its location for use without any additional installation or calibration procedures.   A registered serviceperson shall complete accurately and in its entirety, the official notice of equipment rejection/violation, or similar form, left at an establishment where a weighing or measuring device has been rejected or found in violation by a state weights and measures official. This form must be returned to the state weights and measures office within twenty-four (24) hours, together with any official rejection tag(s) removed from the device(s) after the device(s) has been brought into compliance.   The commissioner, as the commissioner deems appropriate, may require the reporting or notification by a registered serviceperson or agency of any routine or non-routine service work performed on commercial weighing or measuring devices. Such reporting or notification shall be in a format and on a timeframe as designated by the commissioner.
