Declaration Of Conformity - Sartorius LP Models 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 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 that feature
the latest advanced technology and
provide many years of trouble-free
service.
