Important notice for verified weighing instruments used in Europe
Weighing instruments verified at the place of manufacture bear one
of the preceding marks on the packing label and the green "M"
(metrology) sticker on the descriptive plate. They may be put into
service immediately.
Weighing instruments to be verified in two stages have no green "M"
(metrology) sticker on the descriptive plate and bear one of the pre-
ceding identification marks on the packing label. The second stage
of the initial verification must be carried out by the approved service
organization of the authorized representative within the EC or by the
national weights & measures (W+M) authorities.
The first stage of the initial verification has been carried out at the
manufacturer's work. It comprises all tests according to the adopted
European standard EN 45501:1992, paragraph 8.2.2
If national regulations limit the validity period of the verification, the
user of the weighing instrument must striclty observe the re-verifaction
period and inform the respective W+M authorities.

Legal for Trade
When the scale is used in trade or a legally controlled application, it
must be set up, verified and sealed in accordance with local weights
and measures regulations. It is the responsibility of the purchaser
to ensure that all pertinent legal requirments are met. As verification
require ments vary by jurisdiction, the purchaser should contact their
local weights and measures office if they are not familiar with the
requirments.
For products sold in Europe, the verification process has been com-
pleted at the place of manufacture. These products will already be
sealed and will bear the green "M" (metrology) sticker on the descriptive
plate. They may be put into service immediately.
For products sold in other regions, the verifcation process must be
performed at the place of use.
To prevent access to calibration and metrological settings, the scale
must be sealed using a paper seal or wire seal as shown below.
