  • Page 16 Equipment Required Truck scales are routinely calibrated using 25% of the capacity weight of the scale. Certified Class F test weights equaling at least 12.5% of the scale’s capacity are required for calibrating a commercial legal-for-trade truck scale. In addition, some type of weight for a substitution test of an additional 12.5% of the capacity is required. This can be the test-weight truck, bags of sand, or any convenient items easy to load onto the scale.
