Evidence of compatibility for modules used with
non-automatic weighing instruments
The documents required to verify a weighing instrument for
legal metrology can be created using the data, documents,
and programs available from the Sartorius website. The
printout of the completed forms is valid as a model for
verifi cation of the weighing instrument produced by the scale
manufacturer. Once this has been properly completed and
signed by the weighing instrument manufacturer, it is
submitted to the weights and measures offi cer together with
the Declaration of Conformity (s. “Declaration of Conformity"
section).
Information important to the weights and measures offi cer
may include the type approval certifi cate, test certifi cate or
a test report. The test certifi cate and the manufacturer's
information concerning the weigh cell will also be required.
Filling in the evidence of compatibility:
t The Guide to Verifi cation, complete with Excel fi le,
documents and information, is available online at:

Creating the evidence of compatibility without internet
access:
t You can order the “Guide to Verifi cation of Weighing
Instruments" on CD-ROM directly from Sartorius.

Using the program
ReadMe file
Read this fi le before opening the Excel fi le. The ReadMe fi le
contains important information about using the Excel fi le,
and offers important information on fi lling out the
documents.
Documents
All documents relevant to the compatibility declaration of the
indicator are available (please click on the appropriate links).
Start
t Click on “Start the Excel Program.”
y The Excel fi le automatically opens with the Excel program.
MS-Excel must already be installed on your computer.
A dialog box for selecting macros opens.
t Click on the “Activate macros” button.
y Note: This window might not open, depending on the
settings in your computer system.
t All fi elds on the “Data" page (highlighted in yellow) must
be fi lled out by a qualifi ed person.
y A fi lled out sample document is available in the
“Documents" folder with explanations of the fi elds that are
highlighted in yellow. Once the technical specifi cations
provided by the manufacturer have been entered correctly,
the program calculates all values automatically.
On the last page, the green or red fi elds show whether the
components (indicator and weigh cell/s) are compatible:
Red = incompatible
Green = compatible
Note: A manufacturer of weighing equipment who confi gures a
weighing instrument from individual components (indicator
and weigh cell/s) is responsible for the specifi cations in the
documentation.
t Once all data has been entered correctly (all fi elds on page
2 are green), print out both pages.
t The fi le can then be archived (for example, saved on the PC)
under a name of your choice.
t Double-check the information and sign the data sheet.
