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 Sartorius weighing instru-
ments verified for use as legal measuring
instruments that have an EC Type-Approval
Certificate, see the instruction manual
for the weighing platform in question or
the enclosed “Guide to Verification” (on
CD-ROM). This Directive also regulates 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. The legal basis for EC verifi-
cation is 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,
and the accreditation of the Quality
Management System of Sartorius AG by
Lower Saxony’s Regional Administrative
Department of Legal Metrology (Nieder-
sächsische Landesverwaltungsamt –
Eichwesen) from February 15, 1993.

In 1985, the Council of the European
Community approved a resolution con-
cerning a new approach to the technical
harmonization and standardization of

ance with the directives and standards

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
