KERN FKB User Manual

TFKB-B-BA-e-2311 13
4.4 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
calibration laboratory test weights and balances may be calibrated (return to the na-
tional standard) fast and at moderate cost.
