Sartorius QC150FEG-S, Operating Instructions Manual, Page: 28 / 148

Using the Scale in Legal Metrology
(QC-...0CE Models)
* = Pursuant to Directive No. 90/384/EEC on non-automatic weighing instruments
Approved Auxiliary Measuring Devices
When using the load plate as a legal measuring instrument in the EU, you may
connect to it only auxiliary measuring devices that have been approved for
legal metrology. Metrologically relevant auxiliary devices, such as printers,
additional display units, etc., must be type-approved for this purpose and marked
by a green metrology sticker imprinted with a black “M.” The auxiliary device
must be verified in conjunction with the weighing instrument. If the auxiliary device
is connected at a later date to a weighing instrument that has already been used
in legal metrology, the responsible weights and measures office must be informed
of the addition of the auxiliary device. The auxiliary device can be used in legal
metrology, however, as soon as it has been properly connected if it has
the green metrology sticker with a black “M.”
Since the type-approval certificate for verification applies to non-automatic
weighing instruments only, you must comply with your country’s national
regulations that apply to the place of installation of your weighing instrument for
automatic operation with or without auxiliary devices installed.

As a weighing instrument, the QC is not allowed to be used for weighing goods
intended for direct sale to the public, nor may it be used as a legal measuring
instrument until it has been initially verified by Sartorius. If the scale is moved, it
must be verified again at its new location. In this case, the scale must be
verified and stamp-approved at the new location by your local weights and
measures office.
