Declaration of Conformity
C Marking on Sartorius Equipment
In 1985, the Council of the European
Community approved a resolution
concerning a new approach to the technical
harmonization and standardization of
national regulations. The organization for
monitoring compliance with the directives
and standards concerning the C marking
is governed in the individual EU Member
States through the implementation of the
EC Directives adopted by the respective
national laws. As of December 1993,
the scope of validity for all EC Directives
has been extended to the Member States
of the European Union and the Signatories
of the Agreement on the European
Economic Area.
Sartorius complies with the EC Directives
and European Standards in order to supply
its customers with weighing instruments
and related equipment that feature the
latest technology and provide many years
of trouble-free service.
The C marking may be affixed only to
weighing instruments and associated
equipment that comply with the following
