<\/i><\/i><\/span>In which period do I need verification of my scale?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The re-verification period for scales and weights is 2 years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What is the Verification Body liable for?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The Verification Body is only liable with regard to the correctness of the measuring instrument and not for the correct use of the measuring instrument. Likewise is not liable for the quality of the measuring instrument (this has only the manufacturer).
\nExcluded from liability are events that invalidate the verification.
\n(\u00a7 48 extract MEG<\/a>). (*)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Does the Verification Body also issue confirmations or verification certificates?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Within the scope of its authorization, the Verification Body also issues verification certificates. This is on the one hand a confirmation of the performed verification as well as an internationally recognized test certificate for the metrological feedback of measuring instruments in the context of quality standards (for example ISO 9001: 2000). How a verification certificate must look can be taken from the appendix to the Eichstellenverordnung.
\nThe Verification Body also issues so-called calibration confirmations. However, these verification confirmations do not constitute proof of traceability to national or international standards for the representation of the physical unit in accordance with the International System of Units (SI) in the sense of a verification certificate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Is the activity of maintenance and verification of devices compatible?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Yes – according to the Federal Ministry of Economics and Labor and the Federal Office of Metrology and Surveying, the activities of maintenance and verification are compatible in a Verification Body.
\nThe employees of the Verification Body are not involved in the development, production or sale of the measuring instruments according to \u00a7 2 of the Eichstelleverordnung. (*)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>May a safety mark be used instead of the verification mark in certain cases?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Yes, if the verification test can not be carried out at the moment.
\n(Ex .: no equipment or third-party product) (*)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What activities may the verification technician take with a non-compliant measuring instrument?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The verification technician must take activities that are directed at the user in the case of a measuring instrument exceeding the error limits.
\nThese are the lock of the measuring instrument or devaluation of the verification stamp. (*)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How is the verification done at the end of the year?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Anyone who has submitted an application \/ order for verification in December, but the Verification Body can not comply with this (appointment within 2 months) may no longer use the measuring instrument in legal metrology and can be displayed.
\nWe therefore recommend a latest order in October of the current year.
\nBackdating during verification is currently not permitted. (*)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What must a user of POS systems (verifiable scale in connection with a POS system) pay attention to?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>

The Accreditation Authority for Verifivation Bodies in the Federal Ministry of Economy, Family and Youth has published an information leaflet for users of POS<\/a> systems<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What should users of non-automatic scales who want to connect or attach printers, computers or other peripherals to your scales have to consider?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The Accreditation Authority for Verification Bodies in the Federal Ministry of Economy, Family and Youth has published an information leaflet for users of non-automatic weighing scales<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What is a authorized signatory?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Authorized signatory is an employee who is in a contractual relationship (service or
\nworks contract) to the institution of the Verification Body and which, in accordance with the authorization notice, has the right to carry out verifications
\non certain types of measuring instruments.(*)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What is the procedure when measuring instruments have been verificated, but it is clear that they do not meet the requirements?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

There is no “grace period”. Measuring instruments that may not meet the requirements
\nnot be verificated, even if a verification stamp by the verification authority attached
\nhas been.(*)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
