by using the action of gravity on that body and that require the intervention of the
an operator during the weighing process (hereinafter referred to as "scales"). Scales may also be
used to specify additional quantities, quantities, parameters or
characteristics associated with weight.
§ 2

pharmaceutical laboratories,
f) pricing based on the weight, for the purposes of direct sales
the public and preparing pre-packed products.
(2) the scales for purposes referred to in paragraph 1, shall meet the essential
the requirements set out in annex 1 to this regulation. If the instruments are
subject to other government regulation, laying down technical requirements for
products, and this decree-law lays down additional requirements not provided for in
Annex 1 to this regulation, must fulfil the following requirements as well as weight.
(3) in cases where the device balances or are associated with the

Annex 1
THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS
Introductory provisions
Where an instrument equipped with more than one indicating or printing
the devices provided for the purposes described in section 2 (2). 1 or it
connected to this device, that repeated weighing results
operations and that cannot affect the proper function of the instrument, do not apply
the essential requirements provided that the weighing results are printed or
recorded correctly and indelibly either parts of the instrument, which
meets the basic requirements, and these results are accessible to both
parties involved in the measurement. In the case of the scales used for the direct
sales to the public, however, the pointing and the printing mechanism for the seller and
the consumer must meet the basic requirements.
METROLOGICAL REQUIREMENTS
1.
Units of weight
Used units are legal units laid down special
law ^ 4), on the basis of which is permitted to use the following
units and their multiples and parts:
-SI units: kilogram, microgram, milligram, gram, tonne,
-other units: metric carat, if weighing precious
stones.
2.
Accuracy class
2.1. the following accuracy classes are defined:

The lower bound of capacity is reduced to 5e for instruments in classes II and
(III) specifying the transport fare.
2.2. Scale intervals
2.2.1 the actual scale interval (d) and the verification scale interval (e) are in the form:
1 x 10 k, 2 x 10 k or 5 x 10 k mass units, k is an integer
or zero.
2.2.2 For all weights except instruments with auxiliary indicating devices:
d = e.
2.2.3 for instruments with auxiliary indicating devices, the following
terms and conditions:
(e) = 1 x 10 k g
(d) e = 10 < < (d)
with the exception of the class of accuracy I with the d 10E-4 g < for which
e = 10E-3 g.

Classification
3.1. Instruments with one weighing range
Scales equipped with auxiliary indicating devices belong to class I or class
II. in the case of these weights for these two classes of precision determines the lower bound
maximum capacity of 3. columns of table 1 by replacing the verification scale interval (e)
the actual scale interval (d).
If (d) < 10E-4 g may be the upper limit of capacity in the classroom and less than 50 000 e. 3.2 scales with multiple spans Multiple weighing ranges are permitted, provided that they are clearly marked on the scales ... each individual weighing range is classified under point 3.1. if the weighing ranges belongs to a different accuracy classes, must scales comply with the strictest requirements that apply for the accuracy classes in which the weighing ranges fall. 3.3. Multi-interval instruments 3.3.1 of multi-interval instruments shall be regarded as having one of the scales weighing range, which is divided into partial weighing ranges, each with different subdivisions, one of which is determined automatically by the rising and falling of the load applied. Multi-interval instruments shall not be equipped with an auxiliary indicating device. 3.3.2 Each partial weighing range for instruments with multiple range is defined: its verification scale interval ei with e, (i + l) > ei
its top capacity Maxi with Maxr = Max,
its minimum capacity Mini with Mini = Max (i-l)
and Minl = Min
where:
I = 1,2, ..., r
I = partial weighing range number,
r = total number of partial weighing ranges.
All of the maximum capacity applies to the NET load, regardless of the value
the used tare.
3.3.3 partial weighing ranges are classified according to the table 2. All
partial weighing ranges fall into the same class of accuracy, which is a class
the accuracy of the instrument.
