1.8 Legal for trade
When the scale is used in trade or a legally controlled application, it must be set up, verified and sealed in accordance with local weights and measures regulations. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that all pertinent legal requirements are met. As verification requirements vary by jurisdiction, the purchaser should contact their local weights and measures office if they are not familiar with the requirements.
For products sold in Europe, the verification process has been completed at the place of manufacture. These products have been sealed and the type plate includes supplemental metrology markings. They may be put into service immediately. If required by local W & M authorities, additional stickers will already be applied on the device.
For products sold in other regions, the verification process must be performed at the place of use.
To prevent access to calibration and metrological settings, the scale must be sealed using a paper seal or wire seal.
