A Scale Passport, worked through
What a registered commercial scale's record actually holds — shown on a Rice Lake 1280 Enterprise Series Programmable Weight Indicator and Controller.
This is a worked example, not a real scale. The model information below is real and cited to Rice Lake's own product documentation. Everything about this particular device — Registry ID, serial number, owner, dates and service history — is invented for illustration and marked SAMPLE. No such scale exists.
What the model record holds — verified
This half of a passport comes from the manufacturer's published documentation and is the same for every Rice Lake 1280 on the registry. We do not restate specifications we cannot cite.

What the device record holds
This half is specific to one physical instrument. It is what turns "a 1280" into "your 1280, in bay 3, calibrated last April".
Purchase and warranty
Compliance status
The registry does not certify anything. It records what the calibrating company reported, and tells the owner when the next interval falls due.
History
Every entry is attached to the Registry ID rather than to a spreadsheet row, which is what makes it survive a change of technician, of owner, or of building.
What a QR scan shows — and what it does not
The owner decides what appears in the second and third rows. The model's NTEP certificate number is shown on the model page, not on the device's public record.
