Becoming a registered dealer and service person is voluntary, the sale or repair of a legal for trade device in commercial use by an unregistered agent does not allow the device owner to legally operate their equipment for commerce until it is tested and approved by an authorized party (W&M Inspector or registered service person). Registration allows the service person to put new, used, or re-calibrated devices into commercial use, or place back into service after repair, a scale or meter that has failed an official inspection.
The terms dealer-repairman, service person, registered service agent are all interchangeable terms used in different regions of the United States but mean the same thing for our purposes.
