Declaration of Conformity
EC Conformity Mark on Sartorius Devices
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 EC 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 which feature the
latest technology, and which will provide
many years of trouble-free service.
The EC mark may only be affixed to
weighing instruments and associated
equipment if compliance with the
following Directives has been established:
89/336/EEC ”Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC)”
Applicable European Standards:
1. Electromagnetic compatibility:
1.1 References to 89/336/EEC: Official

Note:
The operator shall be responsible for
any modifications to the indicator (not
allowed for verifiable devices) and for any
connections of cables or equipment not
supplied by Sartorius and must check and,
if necessary, correct these modifications
and connections. Details of operating
quality (according to the above standards)
can be obtained from Sartorius.
73/23/EEC “Electrical equipment designed
for use within certain voltage limits”
Associated European Standards:
EN 60950 Safety of IT equipment, includ-
ing electrical office machines
EN 61010 Safety requirements for
electrical equipment for
measurement, control, and
laboratory use
Part 1: General Requirements
For the use of electrical equipment
in installations and under ambient
conditions requiring higher safety
standards, the provisions specified
in the applicable regulations for
installation in your country must be
complied with.
Weighing instruments for use in
legal metrology:
Council Directive 90/384/EEC
“Non-automatic Weighing
Instruments”
This directive regulates the determina-
tion of weight in legal metrology.
For the respective Declaration of
Conformity for verifiable weighing
instruments and weighing instruments
that have been verified by Sartorius
for use as legal measuring instruments
and that have an EC Type-Approval
Certificate, see

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
a Body registered at the Commission
of the European Community for
performing such verification. The
legal basis for Sartorius to perform
the EC verification is EC Directive
No. 90/384/EEC for non-automatic
weighing instruments. This Council
Directive has been in effect since
January 1, 1993 in the Internal Market.
The further legal basis is founded on
the approval of the Sartorius Quality
Management System issued by the
Metrology Department of the Regional
Administration Office of Lower Saxony,
Germany (MEN “Niedersächsisches
Landesverwaltungsamt - Eichwesen”)
on February 15, 1993.

in potentially explosive atmospheres”

EN 50281-1-1 Electrical equipment in
use in zones with combustible dust.
Part 1-1:

(see enclosed conformity statement)
*: The standard has been replaced by
EN 60079-15 Construction, test and
marking of type of protection “n”
electrical equipment, which is also met
by these devices with regard to the
relevant points.
For the use of electrical equipment
in installations and under ambient
conditions requiring higher safety
standards, the provisions specified
in the applicable regulations for
installation in your country must be
complied with.
