Challenge 1: Incomplete Documentation
Problem:
Many businesses are unaware of the paperwork required for NABL certification, such as GST certificates, PAN cards, equipment details, and previous calibration records. Missing documents often cause delays or rejection of applications.
Solution:
At Shree Shree Weighing Solutions, we provide documentation guidance upfront. Our team prepares checklists and assists in gathering required documents, ensuring there are no last-minute hurdles.
Challenge 2: Equipment Non-Compliance
Problem:
Scales that are damaged, tampered, or not aligned with Legal Metrology standards cannot pass NABL calibration.
Solution:
Our engineers inspect and service weighing machines before calibration, making necessary adjustments or repairs to meet compliance standards.
Challenge 3: Limited Access to NABL Labs
Problem:
Not every city or town has a NABL-accredited lab. This often forces businesses to transport their weighing machines over long distances, increasing downtime and costs.
Solution:
We offer Pan-India on-site calibration services where feasible, and coordinate with the nearest NABL labs for off-site testing. Our logistics support minimizes operational disruption.
Challenge 4: Delays in Scheduling and Turnaround
Problem:
High demand and limited lab availability can lead to scheduling delays and extended certification timelines.
Solution:
Our nationwide network of labs and engineers allows flexible scheduling and faster certification turnaround, even during peak periods.
Challenge 5: Renewal and Record Management
Problem:
Businesses often forget to renew NABL certificates annually, leading to compliance lapses during audits.
Solution:
Shree Shree Weighing Solutions maintains a renewal alert system, notifying clients well in advance and handling re-certification without operational disruptions.
Challenge 6: Cost Concerns
Problem:
Multiple service providers for different locations increase costs and complicate record-keeping.
