Fish Scale Calibration

#1 Post by freedom1916 »

Just bought a new scales and wanted to get it Calibrated. I checked online and found the charge 50 euro which I think is expensive.
Anyone know where else does it.

contacted one company and they said they will do discounts for members of the forum but haven't given me a cost yet.

Before you deal with that company check with the Irish Specimen Fish Committee if they will accept a cert from them.

I'll check with them next week surely the NSAI can't be the only certification body they accept.????

They have started to take them from some other companies but it would be better to check with the ISFC first

If you are already paying them a s**t load maybe your contact can arrange for free certification!
