2.4 Monitoring of Test Resources
In the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related properties of the
balance and, if applicable, the testing weight, must be checked regularly. The
responsible user must define a suitable interval as well as type and scope of this test.
Information is available on KERN’s home page (www.kern-sohn.com) with regard to
the monitoring of balance test substances and the test weights required for this. In
KERN's accredited DKD calibration laboratory test weights and balances may be
calibrated (return to the national standard) fast and at moderate cost.
