A merchant operating in Canada recently reached out with an important concern. After successfully using a Detecto DL 1060P in their U.S. locations, they tried deploying the same scale in their Canadian shops. The scale worked great—but there was a major compliance issue. It lacked Measurement Canada certification, which is required by law for retail use in Canada. These regulations are strictly enforced, and even a technically functional scale may fail an inspection if it doesn't carry a Notice of Approval (e.g., AM-####) from Measurement Canada.
So the question became:
"Which weight-embedded label printing scales listed on your site are certified in Canada for use with Clover POS?"
✅ Answer:
The CAS LP1000N and CAS LP1000NP series are certified in Canada and include a valid Notice of Approval issued by Measurement Canada. These scales are approved for use in Canadian retail environments and are fully compatible with Clover POS, especially when paired with barcode scanning apps like:
🛠 From an app perspective, any label printing scale will work—as long as it can generate a barcode with embedded weight or price data. But for Canadian compliance, scale hardware must be Measurement Canada certified to pass inspection and operate legally.
If you're replacing existing U.S.-certified scales (like Detecto) in Canadian locations, the CAS LP1000N or NP models are your go-to solution.
