2.1 Information for Users of Certified Scales

Requirements of non-legal-for-trade additional equipment/EDP
systems employed in commercial applications.
Legal situation
For use in commercial applications, measuring results must be acquired using certified
measuring systems.
The transfer of measurement values to non-legal-for-trade additional equipment
"EDP Systems" for the preparation of vouchers is permitted under the proviso that
- the scale or a verified (certified) piece of additional equipment records and stores the
measurement values in unchanged and undeletable fashion,
- measurement values can be accessed by both parties of the commercial
transaction.
The weighing system user is responsible for compliance with legal
requirements.
*)
According to the Weights & Measures regulations, additional equipment and
measurement systems are treated alike. Verification Act and Verification Ordinance
consider this predicament and pose demands on the EDP systems and programs
used in commercial applications.
Requirements on EDP connection / Measurement value acquisition and
preparation of vouchers:
1) Call for legal-for-trade measurement values (ensure legal-for-trade data
saving):
- The call for a legal-for-trade measurement value must meet the requirements given
in SCHENCK manuals BV-H2310 (s. EDP Format) and BV-H2316 (s. EDP
Commands).
- When changing the prompting mode from EDP to scale, always check to see if
data saving properly operates.
- The use of measurement values for any voucher without previous legal-for-trade
data saving, e.g. in case of error message, is prohibited and will constitute an
offence to the Weights & Measures regulations.
