Company’s Chek-Way Eliminator gets certification body’s tick of approval
Transport Certification Australia (TCA) has announced the type approval of another on-board mass (OBM) system from Tramanco.
The Chek-Way Eliminator and Chek-Way Eliminator with dual input Smart-AMP on-board scales for trucks and trailers are two types of OBM systems supplied by Tramanco, with differing functionality, to be type approved by TCA.
“We are proud to achieve a further type approval (Category A) for The Chek-Way Eliminator with dual input Smart-AMPs,” Tramanco MD Roger Sack says.
“The dual input Smart-AMP version of the Chek-Way Eliminator provides greater flexibility for users with different needs.”

TCA CEO Chris Koniditsiotis explains that type approval involves an assessment on the performance-based requirements contained in the OBM System Functional and Technical Specification.
“The specification comprises requirements which relate to the accuracy, reliability and robustness – as well as tamper evidence and security relevant to the type approval category – of OBM systems.
“TCA type approval also extends to a business and probity assessment of OBM system suppliers, which verifies the capacity of suppliers to meet the expectations of consumers and end-users.
“With OBM systems serving many end user needs, type approval caters for a range of uses without being hardwired to one policy need.”
