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.
