Not sure whether weighing your own fish is allowed in any tournaments, even if the scale is certified. You need an unbiased witness if the fish is being submitted for a record or prize. Bringing a fish to a certified weigh station that has a reputation beyond reproach (like CC Tackle, SWE or Red Top) is still the best way IMO. Weighing and releasing a live, writhing fish is sure to result in many people questioning the validity of said fish due to the difficulty involved in getting 100% accuracy, even though the intention is good. As far as using the scale for your own personal records it’s a good idea.
