Declaration of Conformity
The EU Mark of Conformity on
Sartorius Weighing Equipment
In 1985, the Council of the European
Community approved a resolution
concerning a new approach to the
technical harmonization and
standardization of national regulations.
The organization for monitoring
compliance with the directives and
standards concerning the C marking
is governed in the individual EU
Member States through the
implementation of the EC Directives
adopted by the respective national
laws. As of December 1993, the
scope of validity for all EC Directives
has been extended to the Member
States of the European Union and the
Signatories of the Agreement on the
European Economic Area.
Sartorius complies with the EC
Directives and European Standards
in order to supply its customers with
weighing instruments and related
equipment that feature the latest
advanced technology and provide
many years of trouble-free service.
The C mark may be affixed only to
weighing instruments and associated
equipment that comply with the
applicable Directive(s):
Council Directive 89/336/EEC
“Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)”
Acceptable European Standards:
Limitation of emissions:
EN 50081-1
Residential, commercial
and light industry
EN 50081-2
Industrial environment
Defined immunity to interference:
EN 50082-1
Residential, commercial
and light industry
EN 50082-2
Industrial environment
Important Note:
The operator shall be responsible for
any modifications to Sartorius
equipment and for any connections
of cables or equipment not supplied
by Sartorius and must check and,
if
necessary, correct these modifications
and connections. On request, Sartorius
will provide information on the minimum
operating specifications (in accordance
with the Standards listed above for
defined immunity to interference).
Weighing Instruments for Use in
Legal Metrology:
Council Directive 90/384/EEC
“Non-automatic weighing instruments”
This Directive regulates the determination
of mass in legal metrology.
For the respective Declaration of Type
Conformity for weighing instruments
that have been verified by Sartorius
for use as legal measuring instruments
and that have an EC Type-Approval
Certificate, see the operating
instructions for the weighing platform
you use, or the “Guide to Verification
of Weighing Instruments”.
This Directive also regulates the
performance of the EC verification by
the manufacturer, provided that an EC
Type-Approval Certificate has been
issued and the manufacturer has been
accredited by an officer of a Notified
Body registered at the Commission
of the European Community for
performing such verification.
Sartorius complies with EC Directive
No. 90/384/EEC for non-automatic
weighing instruments, which has been
in effect since January 1, 1993,
within the Single European Market,
as well as the accreditation of the
Quality Management System of
Sartorius AG by Lower Saxony’s
Regional Administrative Department
of Legal Metrology (Nieder-
sächsisches Landesverwaltungsamt –
Eichwesen) from February 15, 1993.

C mark on Sartorius equipment,

“EC Verification” – A Service offered
by Sartorius
Our service technicians authorized to
perform the verification of your weighing
instruments that are acceptable for legal
metrological verification can inspect
and verify the metrological specifications
at the
place of installation within the
Member States of the European Union
and the Signatories of the Agreement
on the European Economic Area.
Subsequent Verifications within the
European Countries
The validity of the verification will
become void in accordance with the
national regulations of the country in
which the weighing instrument is
used. For information on verification
and legal regulations currently appli-
cable in your country, and to obtain
the names of the persons to contact,
please contact your local Sartorius
office, dealer or service center.
