3.3 Warranty
The warranty expires in the following cases:
the instructions contained herein are not observed;
the scales are not used as intended;
the scales are modified or opened;
mechanical damage or damage caused by utilities or liquids;
natural wear and tear;
improper setting or incorrect electrical system;
the measuring mechanism is overloaded;
the scales fall.
3.4 Monitoring of test resources
As part of the quality assurance system, the technical measuring properties of the
scales and (if applicable) the testing weight should be checked at regular intervals.
To this end, the user responsible should determine an appropriate cycle, type and
scope of such check. Information regarding the monitoring of test resources (scales
and test weights) is available at KERN website (
). The test
weights and scales can be calibrated quickly and cheaply at KERN calibration labora-
tory accredited by DKD (Deutsche Kalibrierdienst) (in reference to the national
standard).
