20 Verification
General:
According to EU directive 2014/23/EU balances must be officially verified if they are
used as follows (legally controlled area):
a) For commercial transactions if the price of goods is determined by weighing.
b) For the production of medicines in pharmacies as well as for analyses in the
medical and pharmaceutical laboratory.
c) For official purposes
d) For manufacturing final packages
In cases of doubt, please contact your local trade in standard.
Scales in the legally regulated range (→ verified scales) must comply with the error
limits during the verification period - these are usually twice the error limits.
When this verification validity period expires, a re-verification must be carried out. If
the scale must be adjusted to comply with the verification error limits to pass this
reverification, this does not constitute a case of warranty.
Verification notes:
An EU type approval exists for balances described in their technical data as
verifiable. If the balance is used where obligation to verify exists as described above,
it must be verified and re-verified at regular intervals.
Re-verification of a balance is carried out according to the respective national
regulations. The validity for verification of balances in Germany is normally 2 years.
The legal regulation of the country where the balance is used must be observed!
Verification of the balance is invalid without the seal.
The seal marks attached on verified balances point out that the balance
may only be opened and serviced by trained and authorized specialist
staff. If the seal mark is destroyed, verification looses its validity. Please
observe all national laws and legal regulations. In Germany a re-
verification will be necessary.
