Return to Table of Contents Establishment Identification Section 1. Establishment Name This is the business name of the establishment that the Inspection Certificate is being issued to (i.e. the name of the company /establishment using the device). If the device is being rented, the name of the company or person using the device must be recorded. This should always be the full legal name of the establishment. 2. Banner Name This is the banner or company name under which the establishment operates (i.e. Petro Canada, Good Year, etc.). The banner should reflect the Company to which the devices being inspected are related. In the case of an establishment with more than one banner (e.g. Shell station with ICG propane dispensers), the banner name recorded in the header must be the one applicable to most of devices inspected. For example, at a Shell station, 12 gas dispensers and the propane beam scale are inspected. “Shell” is recorded as banner in the header of the certificate and a note should be written in the comment section specifying that “ICG” is the banner for the propane scale. On an inspection where only the secondary devices are being inspected, the secondary banner will be listed in the header. (This list is available from your local Measurement Canada Office, as it is region specific.) 3. District The district code is entered by the Measurement Canada District Office. 4. Zone The zone number is entered by the Measurement Canada District Office unless the permanent location and/or name of the client is unknown, then the certificate is to be issued in the name of the authorized service provider and assigned to zone 800. 5. Address This is the street address or location of the establishment where the device is located. 6. Contact/Name Name of establishment contact. Should be the person in charge of the devices on site. 7. Contact/Title The company title of the contact person. 8. Place This is the city, town or village and province of the establishment where the device is located. 9. Postal Code Canada Post Corporation postal code for address and place. 10. Telephone Number The telephone number of the establishment must be entered in the format (999) 999-9999. 11. Fax Number The facsimile number of the establishment must be entered in the format (999) 999-9999. 12. Directions If the establishment does not have a street address, or is difficult to locate, record the directions on how to get to the establishment (i.e. 1 kilometer north, 2 kilometers west of town X). Clear, concise instructions on device location are of significant importance because the device in question may be difficult to locate with the mailing address alone. 13. Mailing Address This is the full mailing address of the establishment if it is different from the actual address of the establishment where the device is located. Note: If the Head Office address is required for reference purposes it should be recorded in the "comments" area. 14. Postal Code Canada Post Corporation postal code for mailing address of the establishment. 15. Establishment Code The establishment code will be assigned by the District or Regional Office. 16. Trade Sector The trade sector code is a numeric code which represents the primary source of business conducted by the establishment, i.e. a hardware store with a union scale and fuel dispensers. Since the primary source of income of the establishment is the store, the trade sector code would be 3901. See Appendix 3 Note: The trade sector code should represent the primary source of business conducted. 17. Seasonal This box is to be left blank if the establishment operates all year. For seasonal businesses, enter the season(s) which the establishment is open. For reference the following will apply:
Return to Table of Contents Device Information Note: When more then one component for a single device is to be captured on the certificate, the primary information will be recorded first and only the primary component will contain the results of the inspection. For Volumetric Devices:
For Gravimetric Devices:
Note: For a system composed of multiple decks and a single indicator (used as a single weighing system), the first deck must be recorded as the primary deck (primary serial number) (i.e. 9-20), the indicator will be recorded as the secondary component (secondary serial number), and each subsequent deck must be recorded as components of the first deck. The total inspected capacity must be entered on the same line as the primary deck. Individual capacities for each deck can only be captured in the comments section of the inspection certificate. For systems composed of several decks, each with its own indicator, each deck/indicator combination must be recorded as a separate device (i.e. 9-10). 18. Device This is a description of the device recorded on that line of the Inspection Certificate (i.e. computing scale, test weight, vehicle scale, bulk meter, fuel dispenser, etc.) For devices with components, the second line (and following lines if there are many components) would describe the component (i.e. electronic register, ATC, computer, etc.). The only information shown for the secondary component will be device description, serial number, manufacturer and manufacturer code. Only one device per line is to be entered on the certificate. The only exceptions are standards and device types 01 (trade weights), 90 (dynamic lenght measures), 91 (static measures), 99 (others) and, devices with consecutive serial numbers when intial factory inspections are performed at the manufacturers premises, and the client is unknown (zone 800). Devices with consecutive serial numbers must also have the same results and infraction type. Note: Each certificate must be issued in the name of the client. If the permanent location and/or name of the client is unknown, the certificate must be issued in the name of the authorized service provider. One copy of each certificate must accompany each device to its permanent location. 19. Serial Number The alpha-numeric identification number of the device or component as indicated on the serial plate of the device must be recorded. The primary device will be on the first line followed by the secondary component(s) on the next line(s). All devices require a serial number. Do not leave this field blank. If there is more than one device per line (see paragraph 18), the serial numbers must be consecutive and recorded on the certificate as, for example A123456-A123499. When specifying a range you must also enter a quantity. In this case the quantity would be (44) and should be clearly shown in brackets on the same line following the description of the device. The dash ( - ) between the two numbers represents the word "TO" and indicates a range to Measurement Canada's data system. Note: The serial number is the key element for identifying devices within establishments. Measurement Canada’s data system will not accept two devices with the same serial number within an establishment; it will consider both devices as the same one. 20. Capacity and Interval The legal capacity of the device indicated on that line of the Inspection Certificate must be shown in terms of quantity and unit of measurement. (For truck scales, this is the capacity to which the device was inspected). The terms tonne & tons are not acceptable in Measurement Canada’s data system. Use the corresponding kilogram or pound capacities. For truck scales, the approved capacity may be captured in the comments section of the Inspection Certificate. Note 1: For gravimetric devices, the scale interval is captured on the inspection certificate, it should be recorded in the capacity field for example as (100,000 kg x 10 kg). If there is not enough space in the capacity field of the certificate, the interval may be caprured on the following line. This information is not mandatory. Note 2: For Multi-Interval and Multi-Range devices, the largest certified capacity and interval is to be captured in this field. When appropriate, the smaller intervals and ranges could be captured in the comments section of the certificate. 21. Manufacturer & Code The name of the manufacturer (and when not available) the applicant or importer (based on the information found on the device), must be written in full, followed by the designated three-letter code taken from the Manufacturers table (see below). The name of the manufacturer, applicant or importer and the code must be entered for the device and, if applicable, each of the listed components. Please refer to the updated Manufacturers table provided on Measurement Canada's Web site. When a code does not exist in this manufacturers' table, please advise Measurement Canada that a code is required. See Appendix 2. 22. Result (Inspection Result) The code represents the result of the device inspection indicated on that line of the Inspection Certificate. The following is a list of codes and their meanings as well as clarifications on when these codes are to be used: Type - Description
Note: Service Contract requirements may apply limits of error that are more restrictive than the legislated limits of error for the device. Adjustments to bring devices within these “Service Contract” requirements may be noted in the comments section of the Inspection Certificate and Test Reports but are not reported as adjustments for Certification / Monitoring purposes.
(1) Reject (R) Codes are to be used when the consumer would be disadvantaged due to the error. This could be caused by a device used for selling, over-indicating, or a device used for buying, under-indicating. See (3) below. (2) Warning (W) Codes are to be used when the trader would be disadvantaged due to the error. This could be caused by a device used for selling, under-indicating or a device used for buying, over-indicating. See (3) below. (3) When coding a Rejection or Warning, it is imperative that the inspector properly ascertain all modes of usage for the device. If the device may be used for both Buying and Selling, then any measurement error is to be coded as reject (R, AR, BR) error. Note: All inspection results (with the exception of “V” - Verified), must be accompanied by an infraction type. See paragraph 23. 23. Inf. Type ( Infraction Type) The infraction type code represents the as-found results. If more than one infraction type is found during the course of an inspection, the infraction type recorded must be prioritized in the following manner. Type - Description
Note: A device must not be non-verified where device Usage U is the only contravention. The infraction code U must be utilized in instances where the authorized service provider believes a warning letter is warranted and wishes to bring the matter to the attention of Measurement Canada. 24. Inspection Type The inspection type code represents the type of inspection conducted on the device(s) indicated on that line of the Inspection Certificate. Note: The following codes can be used by an accredited organization. Registered organizations will be using inspection codes that start with the letter R, as described in the "Registered Organization -Inspection Types" section that follows: Accredited Organization -Inspection Types
Registered Organization -Inspection Types
When an inspection is performed by a recognized technician of a registered organization in the presence of a Measurement Canada inspector (follow-up inspection with the technician), the following codes must be used:
See Appendix 5 for all Inspection Type Definitions. 25. Device Type The device type code represents the general type of device. Volumetric devices (dispensers, refuellers, bulk meters) are differentiated by capacity only. Describe the device accordingly. See Appendix 1 26. Device Sub Type The sub type code describes in more detail the type of device. See Appendix 1 Note 1: A vehicle scale not operated by a person familiar with and experienced in the operation of that scale, is deemed “unattended”. This also applies to a vehicle scale operated for business by an experienced operator during the day but not during business at night. Note 2: If a previously certified vehicle scale is modified to unattended operation, it should be re-inspected. See bulletin M-08 (rev. 2) section 3.1 for details and, if you have any doubts, the Measurement Canada Regional Gravimetric Specialist for your area should be consulted. 27. Product Code The product code identifies the product being measured by the device. This field is mandatory for volumetric devices if the product code is not 11 (Fuel (gas, diesel fuel, fuel oil, etc.). Footnote 1: Petroleum Products code 11 is the default product type for all meters in device types 50-*dispensers, 51-*refuellers, 52 -* bulk metes and 55 -*gravity meters. 28. Organization Number The organization number is an alphanumeric code assigned by Measurement Canada to Authorized Service Providers. This number will start with the prefix A for an accredited organization or R for a registered organization and should be preprinted on Authorized Service Provider’s certificates in the following format : A-999 or R-999 as the case may be. The dash (-) is optional. 29. Comment Line No. A number must be recorded on each device line for which there is a comment in the Comments box. The same number must be recorded in the comment box so that the comment and appropriate device can be associated at the time of data entry. Note: Each comment line # is unique and there can be only one comment number for each device line. For example, if the same comment applies to 2 or more devices then each device line must have its own comment number. (i.e. comment #1,#2,#4,#5 - kg label must be replaced.) 30. Comment Line # Enter the comment line number(s) applicable to the comments recorded beside each device line as described in 29) above. Note: Comment line #0 will associate comments to the whole inspection and not to a particular device. 31. Comments Comments which the recognized technician deems necessary for data capture (i.e. reasons for device non-verification, annotations or restrictions, etc.) must be written in this area. This is also a good place to enter Truck numbers when doing Truck Meters. Some specific annotations and restrictions are: Annotations:
"Inspected and certified to xxx kilograms". Maximum inspected and certified capacity required for large capacity scales that cannot be tested to capacity. "Minimum weighment xxx kilograms". Minimum weight that can be weighed on the device as configured. This annotation should be used where there exists a possibility that the device will be used below this minimum. Portable Installation Valid Until <<date>>. Annotation required when placing a portable vehicle scale in a portable installation. Date is 1 year after the inspection date. If the installation is to remain longer, then it must meet permanent installation requirements. "For Prepacking Use Only" -for devices which are designed for use in prepacking situations only, i.e. (Retail Food). Meter # "X" shall not be used at flowrates less than [minimum flowrate], in cases where it is possible to operate a meter below its minimum flowrate. Meter # "X" product depletion test conducted at XXX lpm. In some cases a device owner or service company will slow down the delivery rate of a system so that it may pass the product depletion test. It is desirable to know what rate the test was done at, as they may increase the flowrate following the inspection. "Approaches were not completed at the time of initial inspection. Device owner agrees to complete the approaches in accordance with section 63 (NAWDS), by May 31, XXXX". For vehicle scale systems installed in the winter months, when it is not always feasible to provide either permanent foundations or approaches due to ground frost. Note: When an initial inspection is scheduled by Measurement Canada or an authorized service provider, a letter of intent to complete the approaches meeting legislative requirements by May 31st of the following year, signed by the perspective device owner, shall be sent to the District Manager of the nearest Measurement Canada District Office. Restrictions: 1. For scales tested at the factory and that can be affected by the effect of gravity (usually small capacity devices): “The initial inspection was performed at the factory. The scale(s) may require readjustment upon relocation due to changes in acceleration due to gravity.” 2. For fluid measuring devices (gasoline dispensers, vehicle or rack mounted meters): “The device was calibrated for and can only be used in trade to measure (generic name of the product and density).” Or, in cases where the meter was not tested on the actual product, it is desirable to know what product and factors were used: "Meter # "X" was not tested on [product name] P/L of XXX.XXX from [product name] used". Typical generic names and density:
When any comment regarding restrictions, etc. is recorded on the Inspection Certificate, the trader's (or trader’s representative) signature must be obtained. If the trader refuses to sign the Inspection Certificate then the recognized technician of the authorized service provider will enter “Refused to sign” in the signature section. It is not necessary to have the trader sign the certificate for all comments made by the recognized technician of the authorized service provider; only those that are serious in nature. 32. Trader's Signature This space is provided for the trader's or the trader's agent's signature. A signature is required whenever the Inspection Certificate contains a rejection, the device has been restricted in any way or the certificate has been annotated. In short all certificates that are not unrestricted verifications should be signed. If the trader refuses to sign the Inspection Certificate then the recognized technician of the authorized service provider will enter “Refused to sign” in the signature section. 33. Authorized Service Provider's Recognized Technician's Signature The signature of the recognized technician of the authorized service provider who perform the inspection certifies the inspection of the devices on the Inspection Certificate. 34. Recognized Technician's Assigned Number Note: Starting in June, 2004 only the recognized technician's number will be accepted in this field. The technician's printed name will no longer be accepted. The authorized service provider’s recognized technician’s number is a six digit alphanumeric code assigned by Measurement Canada. The first four digits are the Authorized Service Provider’s organization number (see section 28 for details), and the last two digits represent a unique number for each recognized technician in the organization. Example 1: Two recognized technicians employed by an accredited organization with the inspector number 025, will have the following numbers A-02501 and A-02502 respectively. Example 2: Two recognized technicians employed by a registered organization with the inspector number 123, will have the following numbers R-12301 and R-12302 respectively. The recognized technician must clearly print the whole number in this field when completing an inspection certificate. 35. Date The date of inspection must be shown numerically. When an inspection spans over more than one day, the day the inspection is concluded and the Inspection Certificate is issued must be the date shown. It must be entered in the format yy/mm/dd. Back of the Certificate To permit an understanding of the certificate by the owner or the person in possession of the device(s) described on the certificate, the codes and their description as shown in section 22, 23 and 24 of this manual must accompany the certificate. It is suggested that they appear on the back of the certificate, however, they could be annexed to the certificate, on a seperate document, as long as the certificate refers to it.
