Evidence of compatibility for modules used with non-
automatic weighing instruments
The documents required to verify a weighing instrument for
legal metrology can be created using the data, documents, and
programs available from the Sartorius website. The printout of
the completed forms is valid as a model for
verifi cation of the
weighing instrument produced by the scale manufacturer.
Once this has been properly completed and signed by the
weighing instrument manufacturer, it is submitted to the
weights and measures
offi cer together with the Declaration
of Conformity (see “Declaration of Conformity” section).
Information important to the weights and measures
offi cer
may include the type approval certifi cate, test certifi cate or
a test report. The test certifi cate and the manufacturer's
information concerning the weigh cell will also be required.
