5.1 Information on recalibration
A balance is recalibrated according to the legal requirements applicable to the
individual countries. For instance, the calibration validity period for balances in
Germany is normally 2 years. The period of time for calibration validity begins
when the balance is put into operation (installation and commissioning). Also see
the identification plate (2002 in the preceding example as designated CE 2002).
5.2 Calibration information for non EU countries
The statutory provisions of the relevant countries are to be observed.
5.3 Levelling
device
The FIS is fitted with a bubble level. This must be checked following every
change in location and the balance re-levelled if necessary.
The bubble level may also be installed underneath the load plate on small load
carriers.
