Completing the Arkansas 1818 form requires attention to detail. One common mistake is failing to check all applicable service categories. Applicants should ensure they indicate whether they provide scale service, meter service, or LPG meter service. Omitting this information can delay the registration process.
Another frequent error involves the attachment of current Certificates of Calibration. It is crucial to include these documents for all testing equipment used. Without them, the application may be deemed incomplete, leading to potential rejection.
Many applicants overlook the requirement to provide a working knowledge of the specifications and tolerances in NIST Handbook 44. Indicating “NO” in this section could raise concerns about the applicant’s qualifications and knowledge base, impacting the overall assessment of the application.
Inaccurate contact information is another mistake that can hinder communication. Applicants must ensure that the address, phone number, and email address are correct and current. Miscommunication due to incorrect information can result in missed notifications regarding the application status.
Additionally, failing to list all testing equipment available for use is a common oversight. The form requires a comprehensive inventory of testing equipment. Incomplete listings can give the impression of inadequate resources, which may affect approval.
Applicants should also be cautious when indicating previous registrations. If the applicant has been registered before, they must provide the correct registration number. An incorrect or missing registration number may lead to confusion and delays in processing the application.
Lastly, neglecting to sign the application can lead to immediate rejection. Both the responsible person and the witness must provide their signatures. This step is essential for validating the application and confirming the accuracy of the information provided.
