Verification notes
:
An EU type approval exists for balances described in their technical data as verifiable.
If a balance is used where obligation to verify exists as described above, it must be
verified and re-verified at regular intervals.
Re-verification of a balance is carried out according to the respective national
regulations. For verification validity period, s. chap. 16.1.
The legal regulation of the country where the balance is used must be observed!
Verification of the balance is invalid without the seal.
The seal marks attached on balances with type approval point out that the
balance may only be opened and serviced by trained and authorised
specialist staff. If the seal mark is destroyed, verification loses its validity.
Please observe all national laws and legal regulations. In Germany a re-
verification will be necessary.
Balances with obligation to verify must be taken out of operation if:
•
The weighing result of the balance is outside the error limit.
Therefore, in
regular intervals load balance with known test weight (ca. 1/3 of the max. load) and
compare with displayed value.
•
The reverification deadline
has been exceeded.
