3.4  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.
