Scalers Licence
Natural Resources
Overview
A Scalers Licence is a licence which authorizes a person to scale primary forest products harvested from NB Crown Lands or primary forest products marketed through a Producer Association. Licences will be renewed every five years.
Eligibility
Applicants for Scaler licencing must first submit an application to be examined by the Board of Examiners (Scalers Act). Applicants must have attained the age of 19 years and have two years experience assisting a licenced Scaler or have graduated from a college, technical institute or university in a program of study that in the opinion of the Board provides practical training and instruction equivalent to two years experience in scaling primary forest products. Applicants are examined by the Board of Examiners and recommendations for licensing are forwarded to the Minister.

• Scalers who have actively scaled under provisions of the Scalers Act within the five year period prior to June 30, 2012 will be able to renew their licence by successfully completing a written examination.
• Scalers who have not actively scaled will be required to attend an approved Scaler Refresher Course and complete a written examination.
