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 weighing instruments
that have been verified by Sartorius
for use as legal measuring instruments
and that have an EC Type-Approval
Certificate, see the operating
instructions for the weighing platform
you use, or the “Guide to Verification
of Weighing Instruments.”
This Directive also regulates the
performance of the 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.
Sartorius complies with 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,
as well as the accreditation of the
Quality Management System of
Sartorius AG by Lower Saxony’s
Regional Administrative Department
of Legal Metrology (Nieder-
sächsisches Landesverwaltungsamt –
Eichwesen) from February 15, 1993.

C Marking
The CE Mark on Sartorius
Weighing Equipment
In 1985, the Council of the European
Community approved a resolution
concerning a new approach to the
technical harmonization and
standardization of national regulations.
The organization for monitoring
compliance with the directives and
standards concerning the C marking
is governed in 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 and related
equipment that feature the latest
advanced technology and provide
many years of trouble-free service.
The C mark may be affixed only to
weighing instruments and associated
equipment that comply with the
applicable Directive(s):
Council Directive 89/336/EEC
“Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)”
Applicable European Standards:
Limitation of emissions:
In accordance with product standard
EN 61326-1 Class B (residential
area)
Defined immunity to interference:

of cables or equipment not supplied
by Sartorius and must check and,
if
necessary, correct these modifications
and connections. On request, Sartorius
will provide information on the minimum
operating specifications (in accordance
with the Standards listed above for
defined immunity to interference).
