6.7 Verification
General:
According to the EU guideline 90/384/EEC balances must be verified officially if they
are to be used as follows (legally regulated area):
a) For commercial transactions if the price of goods is determined by weighing
b) For the production of medines in pharmacies as well as for analyses in the
medical and pharmaceutical laboratory
c) For official purposes
d) For the production of finished packages
In case of doubt, please contact your local office of weights and measures.
Verification information
An EU qualification approval is available for those balances marked as appropriate
for verification in the technical data. In the event that the balance is applied in an
area subject to verification as described above, it must be verified and re-verified at
regular intervals.
Re-verification of a balance is carried out in compliance with the respective legal
provisions of the states. The term of verification validity for balances in Germany, for
example, is normally 2 years.
The legal provisions of the country of use are to be observed.
Position of the “official seals“:
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.
