Each application shall provide such information that will enable the Department to pass on the qualifications of the applicant for the certificate of registration.

Before any certificate of registration is issued, the Department shall require the registrant to meet the following qualifications:

(1) Has possession of or available for use weights and measures, standards, and testing equipment appropriate in design and adequate in amount to provide the services for which the person is requesting registration.

(2) Passes a qualifying examination for each type of weighing or measuring device he intends to install, service, recondition, or repair.

(3) Demonstrates a working knowledge of weighing and measuring devices for which he intends to be registered.

"Serviceperson" means any individual who sells, installs, services, repairs, or reconditions, for hire, award, commission, or any other payment of kind, a commercial weighing or measuring device.

"Service agency" means any individual, agency, firm, company, or corporation that, for hire, award, commission, or any other payment of any kind, sells, installs, services, repairs, or reconditions a commercial weighing or measuring device.

"Special sealer" means any serviceperson who is allowed to service only one service agency's liquid petroleum meters or liquid petroleum measuring devices.

Each registered service agency and serviceperson shall have report forms, known as "Placed in Service Reports".

Whenever a registered serviceperson or special sealer places into service a weighing or measuring device, there shall be affixed to the device indicator a decal provided by the Department that indicates the device accuracy.

Within 5 days after a device is restored to service or placed in service, the original of a properly executed "Placed in Service Report", together with any official rejection tag or seal removed from the device, shall be mailed to the Department. The duplicate copy of the report shall be handed to the owner or operator of the device and the triplicate copy of the report shall be retained by the service agency or serviceperson.

A registered service agency and a registered serviceperson shall submit, at least once every 2 years to the Department for examination and certification, any standards and testing equipment that are used, or are to be used, in the performance of the service and testing functions with respect to weighing and measuring devices for which competence is registered.

When a serviceperson's or service agency's weights and measures are carried to a National Institute of Standards and Technology approved out-of-state weights and measures laboratory for inspection and testing, the serviceperson or service agency shall be responsible for providing the Department a copy of the current certification of all weights and measures used in the repair, service, or testing of weighing or measuring devices within the State of Illinois.

All registered servicepersons placing into service scales in excess of 30,000 pounds shall have a minimum of 10,000 pounds of State approved certified test weights to accurately test a scale.

Persons working as apprentices are not subject to registration if they work with and under the supervision of a registered serviceperson.
