Solutions for the Pet Industry
Verification, service and reliable weighing and labelling solutions for the pet industry

NMI Verification
Is Your Equipment Audit Ready?
With the National Measurement Institute (NMI) expected to conduct a concentrated national audit of the pet and animal supplies sector from 14–18 September 2026, now is the time to check that your weighing equipment is accurate and operating correctly.
NMI inspections may include:
- Weighing scales and measuring instruments for accuracy and legislative compliance
- Pre-packaged goods for measurement accuracy, marking and labelling compliance
- Over-the-counter trading practices, including test purchases
- Measurement-related quality assurance processes
The Importance of Regular Servicing
Keep your weighing equipment performing at its best.
Over time, regular use, heavy loads, knocks or movement, temperature changes and the operating environment can all affect a scale’s accuracy and performance.
Regular servicing and calibration can identify these changes before they become a problem, helping reduce the risk of inaccurate weights, lost revenue and trade measurement compliance issues. Wedderburn recommends calibration at least annually, or more frequently for heavily used equipment, with adjustment and verification completed where required.
