place. If you transfer the balance to
a warmer area, make sure to condition
it for about 2 hours at room tempera-
ture, leaving it unplugged from AC
power.
Seal on Balances Verified for Use in
Legal Metrology in the EU*:
EU legislation requires that a control
seal be affixed to verified balances
of accuracy class
K
. The control seal
consists of a sticker with the “Sartorius"
logo. If the seal is broken, the verifica-
tion becomes null and void and the bal-
ance must be re-verified.
