Appendix: Guide to Verification of Weighing Instruments
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 verification 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 officer together with the Declaration of Conformity (under “Documents").
Information important to the weights and measures officer may include the type
approval certificate, test certificate or a test report. The test certificate and the
manufacturer's information concerning the weigh cell will also be required.
