What Does Legal-for-Trade Mean?

Legal-for-trade systems meet recognised metrology standards such as:

• OIML and MID in Europe
• NIST and NTEP in the United States

These certifications confirm that measurements are accurate, repeatable, and suitable for commercial transactions.

Alibi Storage and Data Integrity

Compliance requires more than accurate measurement. Systems must also prove it.

Alibi storage securely records measurement data and protects it from modification. This creates a reliable audit trail for customer queries, disputes, or regulatory checks.
