Measuring instruments

The reliability of measurements, measurement results and measurement methods are monitored whenever the price of a product or a service depends on the measurement result. The measuring instrument must comply with the requirements of the Measuring Instruments Act, when you use the measurement result

  • to determine the price of a product or service or other financial benefit
  • to check the quantity of content of a pre-packaged product
  • as a basis for making decisions in activities by the authorities.

Choose a measuring instrument that conforms to requirements and is appropriate for the purpose to ensure reliable measurements.

Usually, in-service verification of measuring instruments must be performed regularly. The verification must be carried out by an approved inspection body.

An appropriate measuring instrument can be identified by its markings.
