General introduction:
According to EU directive 90/384/EEC 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.
After verification the balance is sealed at the indicated positions.
Verification of the balance is invalid without the "seal/lead seal".
Verification instructions
An EU type approval exists for balances described in their technical data as verify-
able. If a balance is used where obligation to verify exists as described above, it must
officially verified and re-verified in regular intervals.
Re-verification of a balance is carried out according to the respective national regula-
tions. 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!
Balances with obligation to verify must be taken out of operation if:
•
The
weighing result
of the balance is outside the
error limit.
Therefore, in
regular intervals load balance with known test weight (ca. 1/3 of the max. load)
and compare with displayed value.
•
The
reverification deadline
has been exceeded.
