3.4 Monitoring the test equipment
The metrology features of the balance and any possible available test weight must be
checked at regular intervals within the scope of quality assurance. For this purpose, the
user responsible must define a suitable interval as well as the nature and scope of this
check. Please see KERN’s home page (www.kern-sohn.com) for information regarding
the monitoring of balance test equipment and the test weights required for this. Test
weights and balances can be calibrated quickly and at a reasonable price in KERN’s
accredited DKD calibration laboratory (return to national standard).
