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 Conformi-
ty 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 page
after next.
This Directive also regulates the perform-
ance of the EC verification by the
manufacturer, provided that an EC Type-
Approval Certificate has been issued and
the manu— facturer has been accredited by
a Notified Body registered at the Commis-
sion of the European Communities for per-
forming such verification.
The legal basis allowing Sartorius to per-
form EC verification is constituted by the
EC Council Directive No. 90/384/ EEC on
non-automatic weighing instruments that
has been in effect since January 1, 1993,
in the Internal Market as well as by the
Certificate of Accreditation of the
Sartorius AG Quality Management System
issued by the Metrology Department of the
Regional -Administration Office of Lower
Saxony, Germany (“Niedersächsisches
Landesverwaltungsamt - Eichwesen”) on
February 15, 1993.
