The Reading based company, Vehicle Weighing Solutions Ltd and the market leaders for the provision of on-board weighing, axle overload protection and bin weighing solution has announced that they will be the first company in the UK to be approved by the National Measurement and Regulation Office. The company has taken this approval in order to verify their own bin weighing and underbody weighing equipment for their Pay-By-Weight services.

It is great news that this company has been approved by the National Measurement and Regulation Office, or NMRO, as it will help the company to deliver a more efficient service while also offering a range of benefits for their customers. In the past, Vehicle Weighing Solutions Ltd had to call in Trading Standards in order to verify each and every Pay-By-Weight system. Now that the NMRO accreditation has been given to the company, the vehicle on-board weighing and axle overload protection services means that they are able to self-verify their services under the Measuring Instruments Directive as well as the Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments Directive. These verifications were required in order to become an approved manufacturer. As a part of the audit to be accredited by the NMRO, Vehicle Weighing Solutions Ltd needed to achieve the ISO 9001:2015 as well as the ISO 14001:2015 accreditations in order to confirm their commitment to quality traceability as well as their continual improvement and environmental management.

All of the engineers at the company are now UK Weighing Federation which have been trained and reached the necessary Quality and Management accreditations. It has taken a lot of time and effort for the company and all who work for them. However, the hard work and resources are worth it in order to become the first company to be given this license in the UK.
