Effect of the Preload on the Acceptability for Verification in the EU*
Only internal adjustment (calibration) is allowed for weighing instruments
verified as legal measuring instruments (refer to the operating instructions for the
particular isi industrial terminal you are using). Therefore, if you use your
weighing platform in a configuration for which you cannot use the ISO test on
account of the relatively high preload, the platform is not acceptable for
verification.
To have your weighing platform verified, you must change the preload setting
before verification only.
The legal basis permitting Sartorius to perform initial verification is constituted
by the following: 1) EC Council Directive No. 2009/23/EC on non-
automatic weighing instruments, which has been applicable within the
harmonized Internal Market of the European Union since 1 January 1993; and
2) the certificate issued by the Metrology Department "Eichwesen" of the
Landesverwaltungsamt of Lower Saxony in Germany.
(MEN, Mess- and Eichwesen Niedersachsen)
Before verification, the respective ID labels and metrology sticker must be
affixed to the area on the instrument(s) as provided.
