Electromagnetic Compatibility; Ec Type-Approval - Sartorius FB Operating Instructions Manual

Declarations of Conformity
The C Mark 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 com-
pliance with the directives and
standards concerning C marking
is governed in the individual EU
Member States by 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 that feature
the latest advanced technology and
provide many years of trouble-free
service.

Overview
Weighing Instruments for Use
in Legal Metrology:
Council Directive 90/384/EEC
"Non-automatic Weighing
Instruments"
This Directive regulates the
determination of mass in legal
metrology.
For the respective Declaration of
Conformity for weighing instruments
that have been verified by
SARTORIUS for use as legal
measuring instruments and that have
an EC Type-Approval Certificate,
see the page after next.
This Directive also regulates the
performance of the EC verification
by the manufacturer, provided
that an EC Type-Approval Certificate
has been issued and the manu-
facturer has been accredited by an
officer of a Notified Body registered
at the Commission of the European
Community for performing such
verification.
The legal basis allowing Sartorius to
perform EC verification is constituted
by the EC Council Directive No.
90/384/ EEC on non-automatic
weighing instruments that has been
in effect since January 1, 1993, in
the Internal Market as well as by the
Certificate of Accreditation of the
Sartorius AG Quality Management
System issued by the Metrology
Department of the Regional
Administration Office of Lower
Saxony, Germany ("Niedersäch-
sisches Landesverwaltungsamt –
Eichwesen") on February 15, 1993.
