Strainstall in world first product approval
Strainstall’s market-leading container weighing system, CWS, has just received full EU approval.
CWS™ has now been full certified with Automatic Weighing Instruments EU-type approval from the National Measurement and Regulation Office. This is a world first, and a critical milestone in the product’s development.
The EU-type approval enables complete compliance to the International Marine Organisation (IMO)’s amendments to the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) which came into force on 1 July 2016 making it a legal requirement for every export container to have a verified container weight as a condition for loading aboard a vessel.
‘The industry is still experiencing some issues with implementation and enforcement so this certification will give customers complete confidence in compliance and their ability to provide verified weights as legislated by the IMO,’
Says Strainstall's managing director, Simon Everett.
Strainstall’s CWS was specifically developed to meet the SOLAS regulations and has been successfully installed at a number of international container terminals where it has demonstrated its high accuracy in excess of industry expectations.

Strainstall has also secured a major order from DP World Southampton for its world-leading container weight verification system.
CWS™ has also previously been featured in Pelican in more detail, you can read it here: A measured solution for terminal operators.
