Georgia Registered Serviceman or Service Agency of Weighing and Measuring Devices Bond
Overview
Calibrating scales and meters for a living in Georgia? Before you can legally register as a serviceman or service agency for weighing and measuring devices in the state, you must carry this surety bond. Georgia's weights and measures program demands it as proof that you'll do the work accurately and honestly. It guarantees accountability to the state and the businesses that depend on precise, certified measurements.
Who Needs This Bond?
Independent calibration technicians, small repair shops that service commercial scales, and companies that inspect or certify measuring devices for retail or industrial clients all need this bond. Any individual or business applying for registration as a serviceman or service agency under Georgia's weights and measures program is required to carry it. If your work touches certified weighing or measuring equipment in Georgia — whether you're adjusting gas pump meters, retail scales, or industrial load cells — this bond is part of your registration package.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the public and Georgia's regulatory program against fraudulent, negligent, or non-compliant service work on weighing and measuring devices. Weights and measures accuracy is tied directly to fair commerce — overcharges at the gas pump, short-weighted produce, or inaccurate industrial scales all trace back to device calibration. The bond gives the state a financial remedy if a registered serviceman or service agency causes harm through improper work or violates registration requirements. It holds you accountable to the standards the state has set for this profession.
When is it Required?
When you submit your registration application to the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Weights and Measures division, this bond must be included with your filing. You cannot receive your registration without it, and you cannot legally service or certify weighing and measuring devices in Georgia without a current registration. The bond must remain active for as long as your registration is in good standing, so renewals track with your registration cycle.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Georgia requirement with no local jurisdiction variations. It is administered through the state agency that oversees weights and measures compliance across all Georgia counties and municipalities. Anywhere you service or certify weighing and measuring devices within Georgia's borders, this bond must be in force.
