7.3 Verification
General introduction :
According to EU directive 2009/23/EC 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.
Verification notes :
An EU type approval exists for balances described in their technical data as
verifiable. If a 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 e.g. 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 balances with type approval point out that the
balance may only be opened and serviced by trained and authorised
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.
