Using Verified Balances Approved as
Legal Measuring Instruments in Europe
(only applies to MC5-0CE)
Using Verified Balances as Legal Measuring
Instruments
You must calibrate the balance at the place
of installation before using it as a legal measuring
instrument
(see the section entitled “Calibration/
Adjustment” starting on page 1–31).
This balance is not allowed to be used for weighing
goods intended for direct sale to the public. The
type-approval certificate for verification applies only
to non-automatic weighing instruments; for
automatic operation with or without auxiliary
measuring devices, you must comply with the
regulations of your country applicable to the place
of installation of your balance. A suitable
thermometer and barometer are recommended for
monitoring ambient conditions.
For balances of accuracy class
k
, a thermometer
and barometer are recommended for monitoring
ambient conditions. The temperature range
indicated on the verification ID label must not be
exceeded during operation.
The balance must warm up for at least 24 hours
after initial connection to AC power or after
a relatively long power outage.
The legal background for using Sartorius balances
in legal metrology is the EC Council Directive
No. 90/384/EEC for non-automatic weighing
instruments, which has been in effect since
January 1, 1993, within the Internal European
Market, as well as the accreditation of the
Quality Management System of Sartorius AG
by Lower Saxony’s Regional Administrative
Department of Legal Metrology (Niedersächsische
Landesverwaltungsamt – Eichwesen) from
February 15, 1993.
