Use of the Weighing Platform as a Legal Measuring Instrument in the EU*
Components of a Legal Weighing
The weighing platform is a modular device. This modular device is only
considered to be a verified scale once it has been connected to a suitable
display and control unit, and initial verification has taken place (a deviating
configuration may also be defined for the initial verification by Sartorius).
Therefore, a legal weighing instrument can consist of the following:
– a Sartorius isi industrial terminal + 1 to 3 IS weighing platforms
or
– a Sartorius isi industrial terminal + at least 1 weighing platform + up to 2
further EC- or nationally type-approved weighing instruments
As a weighing instrument, the weighing platform is not allowed to be used for
weighing goods intended for direct sale to the public. Since the platform's
type-approval certifcate for verification applies to non-automatic weighing
instruments only, you must comply with your country's national regulations that
apply to the place of installation of your weighing instrument for automatic
operation with or without supplementary devices installed.
