NMI has developed a nationally recognised training framework for verifiers and weighbridge operators aimed at increasing competence. Since 1 July 2010 verifiers and weighbridge operators have been expected to complete a recognition kit to demonstrate they are competent. Competent applicants are awarded a statement of attainment. There is no fee to enrol in the recognition process within the first two years of national trade measurement.
Trade measurement is an important foundation of the national economic infrastructure and licensees are at the very core of this system. NMI is committed to communicating with licensees to ensure a smooth transition to an efficient national trade measurement system.
NMI examines and approves measuring instruments for use for trade and other legal purposes in Australia.
NMI appoints verifying authorities to verify reference standards of measurement.
