N.D. Admin. Code 69-10-02-02
All livestock scales must be installed so as to permit ready access for large capacity testing equipment. At the one end of a livestock scale there must be a straight concrete approach the full width of the scale platform, in the same plane as the scale platform and equal in length to the width of the scale platform in order to provide a clean and level area for the purpose of unloading test weights used in testing the scale. Provisions must be made to allow the test truck to back up to the approach by providing an entrance of adequate height and width to enable the test truck to be reasonably level when weights are unloaded. A livestock scale newly constructed after July 1, 1993, must have a minimum entrance and approach width and height of twelve feet [3.66 meters].
A livestock ring scale constructed after January 1, 1998, must have an approach that is level with the scale platform and at least twenty-eight feet [8.53 meters] in length and ten feet [3.05 meters] in width.
