Such form shall be executed in triplicate, shall include the assigned registration number, and shall be signed by the registered serviceperson who installed the device. This form shall be completed accurately and in its entirety immediately after a new or used device is placed in service, with the original of the properly executed placed in service report to be forwarded to the state weights and measures office within twenty-four (24) hours. The duplicate copy of the report shall be given to the owner or operator of the device, and the triplicate copy of the report shall be retained by the registered serviceperson or agency. This is the only acceptable form for reporting the installation of new or used weighing and measuring devices.(b) It is the responsibility of any registered or unregistered person or agency that sells or conveys a weighing or measuring device to an individual or establishment in this state, that will be used for commercial purposes, to complete and forward a placed in service report to the state weights and measures office as outlined in subsection (a). The placed in service report shall be completed and forwarded to the state weights and measures office regardless of whether the device is installed and/or calibrated on site by Handbook 44 procedures or factory calibrated and transported to its location for use without any additional installation or calibration procedures.(c) A registered serviceperson shall complete accurately and in its entirety, the official notice of equipment rejection/violation, or similar form, left at an establishment where a weighing or measuring device has been rejected or found in violation by a state weights and measures official. This form must be returned to the state weights and measures office within twenty-four (24) hours, together with any official rejection tag(s) removed from the device(s) after the device(s) has been brought into compliance.(d) The commissioner, as the commissioner deems appropriate, may require the reporting or notification by a registered serviceperson or agency of any routine or non-routine service work performed on commercial weighing or measuring devices. Such reporting or notification shall be in a format and on a timeframe as designated by the commissioner.
