Regulation No. 165 on requirements for scales and automatic weighing systems used in the landing of fish.

This Regulation, adopted by Justervesenet, establishes technical and operational requirements for scales and automatic weighing systems used when landing fish. It defines automatic weighing systems as systems that weigh all landed fish and automatically store and transmit weighing data without operator intervention, and places responsibility on the user to ensure compliance and maintain necessary technical documentation. The regulation sets detailed requirements on data storage, transmission, error handling, data quality, integrity, and protection against manipulation, including secure time-stamping and safeguards against data loss. It also establishes specific technical requirements for scales, such as visible display units, sealing mechanisms, secondary displays for automatic scales, non-resettable totalizers, automatic fault detection, periodic zeroing for conveyor belt scales, and security measures to prevent tampering. Violations may result in administrative fines.
