Non-automatic weighing instruments

Non-automatic weighing instruments are tested according to the European standard EN 45501 and the international recommendation OIML R 76 from Organisation Internationale de Métrologie Légale. Type approval certificates accepted in all EU/EEA countries are issued by SP in accordance with the European Council Directive 90/384/EEC. OIML certificates can be issued for international use.

It is now also possible for a manufacturer to obtain an "open" type approval for weighing instruments consisting of an indicating device and approved load cells in certain types of load receptors.
