Both Canada and the United States (US) operate type evaluation or approval programs for weighing instruments intended to be used in commercial applications. Manufacturers who wish to market their products in either country must, under the present legislation and rules, have them evaluated and approved in each country separately. Canada and the United States have reached a bilateral agreement whereby one country recognizes the examination and tests of certain instrument types performed by the other country. This agreement is known as the Canada-US Mutual Recognition of Type Evaluation Program. Download the application for approval form - Fuel Dispensers, in PDF format, 49 KB or the application for approval form - Scales, in PDF format, 78 KB for instrument types to be approved under these agreements.
