20:01:06:01. Commercial weighing or measuring device defined. Terms defined in SDCL 37-21A-1 have the same meaning in this chapter. In addition, the term "commercial weighing or measuring device" includes any weight, weighing device, or measuring device commercially used in establishing the weight or measure of articles for distribution or consumption or of articles which are purchased, offered, or submitted for sale, hire, or award or which is used in computing any basic charge or payment for services rendered on the basis of weight or measure. The term also includes any accessory attached to or used in connection with a commercial weighing or measuring device when the accessory is so designed or installed that its operation affects, or may affect, the accuracy of the device.

20:01:06:02. Weights required for testing up to 10,000 pounds capacity scales. A registered service agent shall have a minimum of 3,000 pounds of certified test weights to check a scale up to 10,000 pounds capacity. For smaller capacity scales such as counter scales, prepackaging scales, or gram scales, appropriate test weights such as a 31 pound test kit with a fractional ounce kit, decimal kit, or gram weight kit or combination thereof is required.
