NTEP Overview
1908 NCWM Annual Report

Mr. REICHMANN. The truth is that when there is no inspection the Dealers, especially the small dealers, are always looking to get the cheapest thing they can get, and of course unscrupulous manufacturers are encouraging them. They will take a scale of a certain make and use it as a pattern to cast something that looks like a scale. I know that they are selling in New York a certain type of scale at $9 a dozen. You take any standard make of scale of this type, you can buy none of them at that price. And what is the result?

It is just as I saw illustrated in the city of Rochester last summer, where they take a casting and merely dip it into paint. It is just like watered stock. A man was selling a scale at $1.65, one of the bearings of which had broken off because the iron had chilled. The dealer said, “That is all right; it acts just as well with three bearings as it does with four." Now, the innocent buyer could find no difference as far as the appearance of the scale was concerned; the buyer does not know anything about it. The average dealer in groceries has no technical knowledge of scales.

Mr. PETTIS. You will not find that situation in American
groceries; you will always find that among foreigners-the _______s. It is particularly the _______s who buy these cheap scales. They pay only 90 cents for a scale.

NTEP Overview
How it Began
6
• By 1915 we had model standards for weighing and measuring devices
• By1967 there were various type evaluation regulations in place, including;• 14 states• 2 cities• 1 county
![Page 7: National Type Evaluation Program An Overview Don Onwiler Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/568148b8550346895db5d02b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
NTEP Overview
Why programs created type evaluation requirements
7
• Type Evaluation was to provide assurance of;
• Handbook 44 compliance• Permanence
• Certification served as a revocable “permit” to access the market within a jurisdiction
(play by the rules or your out)
![Page 8: National Type Evaluation Program An Overview Don Onwiler Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/568148b8550346895db5d02b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
NTEP Overview
A Better Way
8
NBS Test Reports: One evaluation to allow state or local agencies to issue their own type approval certificates
NTEP:One evaluation and one certificate that could be recognized by all jurisdictions
![Page 9: National Type Evaluation Program An Overview Don Onwiler Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/568148b8550346895db5d02b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
NTEP Overview
Proliferation of NTEP
9
• An NTEP Certificate has no legal value on its own merit• States hold the regulatory authority• Their recognition of NTEP gives the program its
value
• 46 States have voluntarily adopted requirements for NTEP certification• Largely fueled by industry support

NTEP Overview
Fair competition: Integrity within an industry
14
• It costs money to play by the rules• Costs are passed on to consumers• Availability of cheap, substandard scales can
put the manufacturers of quality devices at a competitive disadvantage
• NTEP keeps unscrupulous manufacturers out of the market
• Confidence can extend to the global market if NTEP is thorough
![Page 15: National Type Evaluation Program An Overview Don Onwiler Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/568148b8550346895db5d02b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

NTEP Overview
For the Regulatory Official
19
A standard to reference • There may be good designs that aren’t
certified, but there should not be bad designs that are certified
• NTEP provides easy answers when business owners ask officials for guidance
• A method of recourse exists if production fails to meet type

NTEP Overview
2.6. One-of-a-Kind Device
28
A (non-NTEP) device designed to meet unique demands for a specific installation and of a specific design which is not commercially available elsewhere (one such device per manufacturer). If a device manufactured for sale by a company has been categorized and tested as a “one-of-a-kind” device and the manufacturer then decides to manufacture an additional device or devices of that same type, the device will no longer be considered a “one-of-a-kind.”
![Page 29: National Type Evaluation Program An Overview Don Onwiler Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/568148b8550346895db5d02b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
NTEP Overview
One-of-a-Kind Device (continued)
29
This also applies to a device that has been determined to be a “one-of-a-kind” device by a weights and measures jurisdiction in one state and the manufacturer decides to manufacture and install another device of that same type in another state. In this case, the manufacturer of the device must request an NTEP evaluation on the device through the normal application process unless NTEP has already deemed that such evaluation will not be conducted.

NTEP Overview
Maintenance Fee Process
30
Support the daily operations of NTEP including cost of Sector Meetings, salaries, infrastructure– Payable each fall– Non payment results in Inactive Certificate on
January 1– Certificate may be reactivated after January 1
Manufacturers may intentionally allow some certificates to become Inactive because they are no longer in production for use in commerce.

NTEP Overview
What does a NTEP Evaluation Entail?
31
Vehicle Sale Example:• Discrimination near zero and near capacity• Section tests to at least 90% of CLC• Strain load tests to at least 80% of scale
capacity• Repeat all tests (repeatability) • Verify scales errors to .1 division
(if d = 20 lb, verify scale errors to nearest 2 lb

NTEP Overview
Certificate Review
107
• Making sure the information on the Certificate accurately represents current production– Has not been formalized into a systematic
procedure– Most commonly performed by competitors
and regulators
![Page 108: National Type Evaluation Program An Overview Don Onwiler Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/568148b8550346895db5d02b/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
NTEP Overview
VCAP
108
• Only applies to weighing devices that are subject to influence factor requirements
• Requires an audit of the manufacturing facility to verify that:– A quality system is in place– Sampling and testing occurs– Corrective measures are taken when
deficiencies in production are revealed

NTEP Overview
Initial Verification
109
• First official examination of a new device after it is installed– All elements are traceable to Active NTEP
CC’s– No metrological changes have been
made• Marking requirements• Method of sealing• Size, capacity and other parameters• Design, etc.

Main Elements of a Scale
110
• Indicating Element• Load Cells• Weighing/Load-Receiving Element
Just because they are each NTEP Certified does not mean the system is traceable to NTEP.

NTEP Overview
Applying the Certificate in the Field
112
• Is there a CC for this model?• Was the CC active when the device was
manufactured?• Does the device comply with the parameters
provided for on the CC?• Is the device being used in a proper application?• Are all the main elements of a system traceable
to a CC?• Are the main elements compatible with each
other• Has the device been altered metrologically?

Certificate Number
113
• “Parent number”: XX-YYY where“XX” = last two digits of the year issued“YYY” = consecutive number for each CC issued
that year
• Subsequent amendments designated using the suffix A1, A2, A3, etc.
• Parent number is all that is required as a marking requirement on the device.
