As from today, immediately after the machine’s test run, the CE-calibration of non-automatic scales and fully automatic scales of brand new Feige Filling machines and completed weigh scale refits can be done in a quick and uncomplicated way by specially trained accredited Feige Filling personnel!
The final customer has the advantage that no additional personnel have to attend the calibration and the arrangement and coordination with the local W & M authority (Standards Department) is avoided. This saves time and costs.
Feige Filling takes over the full responsibility for the organisation and performance of the CE-calibration.
At the same time there can be scheduled further services, as e.g. inspection, maintenance, training or installation of spare parts without incurring the costs of another visit.
The legal basis for the „manufacturer’s initial calibration“ is a specified „EC-calibration“ for non-automatic scales and fully automatic scales. The basis of the procedure for the initial circulation of scales in Europe are the EC-directives:
1. Directive 2009/23/CE, regulates the putting into circulation of „non-automatic scales(NSW)“.
The transition period has already expired since 2002.
2. Directive 2004/22/CE, regulates the putting into circulation „fully automatic scales (SWA). This directive is often designated as “MID”.
(MID = Measuring Instruments Directive)
The transition period for this directive ends in 2016!
By the resolution of the Council (93/456/EEC) the manufacturer himself can perform the CE-calibration as per “module D” for the initial circulation of the scales in Europe.
After the successful manufacturer’s initial calibration Feige will declare CE conformity and filling operation can start.
