Under what condition can a weigh master certificate be signed by a different weigh master?

The ability for a weigh master certificate to be signed by a different weigh master hinges on the stipulation that both weigh masters operate under the same principal license. This means that even though a different licensed individual is completing the certificate, they are still part of the same overarching authority or company that holds the principal license. This allows for continuity and ensures that the integrity of the certification process is maintained. It also underscores the regulatory requirement that weigh masters operate as part of a licensed framework, where adherence to standards is critical for ensuring the accuracy and legality of weight measurements.

While licensed weigh masters and proper record-keeping are certainly significant components of effective weight management practices, they do not alone justify the signing of a certificate by a different individual without the contextual link of a shared principal license.
