Importance of Calibration

Commercial scale

Commercial scales such as price computing scales, barcode label printing scales etc… are more frequently used by merchants for direct sales to customers. These scales are controlled and regulated according to the laws in force by the LMS (Legal Metrology Services) and are recognized by a tag or a label issued, placed and controlled by the officers of LMS.

The commercial scales used by fruit, vegetable merchants etc in our markets are generally transported from place to place every day and transport can affect their stability.
It is important that these scales be cleaned, serviced and calibrated regularly by specialized companies with LMS approved test weights to detect and remedy faults due to normal wear and tear on the scale.

Industrial scale

Industrial type scales are made sturdy to last over time as they are more heavily used than commercial scales and are used more by factory workers than their buyers. And therefore unfortunately mishandle in most cases even if it is not intentional.

Calibration is not only necessary but mandatory because any loss of calibration even of a few grams would cause losses in terms of profitability for any company. This is why we recommend a maintenance agreement or a regular verification on a case to case basics of your scales in order to detect faults linked to normal wear & tear or misuse.
