DAkkS certificate

Calibrated measuring instruments require calibrated testing equipment.

For scales these are calibrated test weights, also known as "Normal".
Test weights must be recalibrated periodically depending on frequency of use. This will ensure that they can withstand the demands of a reliable functioning test equipment.
Recalibration time depends of the frequency of use, the conditions of use and your needs in terms of security.
The standard specifies no particular recalibration interval. We recommend to recalibrate your test weights with intensive use every 12 months and every 6 months with normal use.
