Policy
. It is the policy of the Director of the Department of
			 Agriculture or the Director's duly authorized agent, hereinafter referred to as
			 "Director," to accept voluntary registration of (a) an individual and (b) an
			 agency that provides acceptable evidence that he or it is fully qualified 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 has possession of, or available for use,
			 weights and measures standards and testing equipment appropriate in design and
			 adequate in amount. (An employee of government shall not be eligible for
			 registration). This policy in no way precludes or limits the right and
			 privilege of any qualified individual or agency not registered with the
			 Director to install, service, repair, or recondition a commercial weighing or
			 measuring device. (3-15-22)

Reciprocity
. The Director may enter into an informal reciprocal
			 agreement with any other state or states that has or have similar voluntary
			 registration policies. Under such agreement, the registered servicemen and the
			 registered service agencies of the states party to the reciprocal agreement are
			 granted full reciprocal authority, including reciprocal recognition of
			 certification of standards and testing equipment, in all states party to such
			 agreement. (3-15-22)

Voluntary Registration
. An individual or agency may apply for
			 voluntary registration to service weighing devices or measuring devices on an
			 application form supplied by the Director. Said form, duly signed and
			 witnessed, must include certification by the applicant that the individual or
			 agency is fully qualified to install, service, repair, or recondition whatever
			 devices for the service of which competence is being registered; has in
			 possession, or available for use, all necessary testing equipment and
			 standards; and has full knowledge of all appropriate weights and measures laws,
			 orders, rules and regulations. An applicant must also submit appropriate
			 evidence or references as to qualifications. (3-15-22)

			 Upon receipt and acceptance of a properly executed application form, the
			 Director will issue to the applicant a "Certificate of Registration," including
			 an assigned registration number, which will remain effective until either
			 returned by the applicant or withdrawn by the Director. (3-15-22)

Privileges of a Voluntary
			 Registrant
. A bearer of a Certificate of Registration has the authority
			 to remove an official rejection tag or mark placed on a weighing or measuring
			 device by the authority of the Director; place in service, until such time as
			 an official examination can be made, a weighing or measuring device that has
			 been officially rejected; and place in service, until such time as an official
			 examination can be made, a new or used weighing or measuring device.
			 (3-15-22)
06.
Placed in
			 Service Report
. The Director will furnish each registered serviceman and
			 registered service agency with a supply of report forms to be known as "Placed
			 in Service Reports." Such a form will be executed in triplicate, include the
			 assigned registration number, and be signed by a registered serviceman or by a
			 serviceman representing a registered agency for each rejected device restored
			 to service and for each newly installed device placed in service. Within
			 twenty-four (24) hours after a device is restored to service, or placed in
			 service, the original of the properly executed Placed in Service Report,
			 together with any official rejection tag removed from the device, must be
			 mailed to the Director at The Idaho State Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
			 Weights and Measures, 2216 Kellogg Lane, Boise, Idaho, 83712. The duplicate
			 copy of the report must be handed to the owner or operator of the device, and
			 the triplicate copy of the report must be retained by the registered serviceman
			 or agency. Also, a copy of a test report on the form used by the Bureau of
			 Weights and Measures or a form approved by the Bureau of Weights and Measures
			 must be submitted to the Bureau of Weights and Measures, 2216 Kellogg Lane,
			 Boise, Idaho, 83712, on livestock, vehicle and mono-rail scales.

Standards and
			 Testing Equipment

			 agency must submit, at least biennially, or as directed, to the Director, for
			 his examination and certification, any standards and testing equipment that are
			 used, or are to be used, in the performance of the service and testing
			 functions with respect to weighing and measuring devices for which competence
			 is registered. A registered serviceman or agency may not use in servicing
			 commercial weighing or measuring devices any standards or testing equipment
			 that have not been certified by the Director. (3-15-22)
