All measuring instruments used in the field of legally regulated metrology must comply with the requirements of all applicable technical regulations. Conformity with these regulations is ensured through assessment procedures defined in the respective technical regulations.
This article examines the process of obtaining certificates and ownership rights based on the results of conformity assessment procedures, using non-automatic weighing instruments as an example. It clarifies the requirements for marking and the necessary accompanying documentation for the operation of non-automatic weighing instruments in legally regulated metrology.
Additionally, the article provides information on the initial date from which the next periodic verification is calculated, following the expiration of the verification interval after the completion of conformity assessment procedures.
