DO YOU.....
Use a commercial weighing or measuring device, drive a taxi, own/operate a fuel dispensing site or use a scale to determine the cost of any commodity?
A commercial weighing or measuring device must be licensed. These include such devices as scales, meters, fueling dispensers and liquid (water, etc.) measuring devices. If you employed a registered service agency (RSA) to install the device, the RSA will submit a license application to the Department on your behalf. The Department will bill you for the license fee. A device is generally inspected within a three-year cycle unless a complaint has been registered or if chronic violations have occurred.
Manufacture, refine, blend, transport or provide motor fuel to service stations or fleet sites in Maricopa County?
State law requires you to be a registered supplier and to follow specific laws and administrative rules relating to Arizona Cleaner Burning Gas (CBG) or Arizona Reformulated Blend Stock for Oxygenated Blending (AZRBOB) program. Here are some pages that may be of interest to you.
Install vapor recovery systems?
Prior to the construction or modification of any Stage II vapor recovery system, you must obtain an Authority to Construct plan approval. In addition, vapor systems must comply with Department regulation.
Install or repair weighing or measuring devices?
The Department licenses Registered Service Agencies and their Representatives and requires specific documentation after every installation or repair.
Want to issue certified weight certificates?
The Department licenses individuals who wish to be public, deputy or limited Weighmasters. Weighmasters are authorized by the department, once licensed, to issue certified weight certificates.
Sell packaged goods by weight, measure or count?
Packaged goods must be sold in the manner prescribed in NIST Handbook 130. If you "put up" or pack at your location, the net weight must meet NIST Handbook 133 requirements. For example, tomatoes must be sold by the pound, not the container. The package is also required to have certain information clearly indicated. Finally, all items for sale must be marked with a price or have a price posted near the item.
Know about the pricing and UPC scanning regulations for Arizona?
If you utilize a scanner at the checkout counter, the scanned price MUST equal the displayed shelf or item price. The Department allows one error for each 50 items to pass an inspection. Retailers are also required to have a written pricing error policy and provide marking pens to customers upon request so that prices can be marked on items for sale.
Need help with compliance?
The Department provides training to businesses in any of the above programs. Successful programs in pricing, UPC and packaging include corporate meetings with managers, computer generated training incorporating your business' specific issues and on-site training at a retail site. Vapor recovery industry seminars are held annually as need arises. Registered Service Representatives can schedule a training course prior to testing.
Department personnel can assist you one-on-one through an E-mail, written correspondence, fax, phone or appointment.
