The set consisting of: load holder + sensors + module can be considered as an IPFNA (non automatic weighing instrument).
As such, and to be able to use it for commercial transitions, it has been approved by the EU.
If it is only used for internal processes, confirm that the display has an identification plate mentioning:
If it is for regulated uses (e.g. commercial transitions), place an identification plate on the display, showing:
Moreover, it receives a first check on leaving the factory, as well as regular on-site monitoring by a licensed body. Generally, monitoring takes place once a year, and this is the responsibility of the owner.
Measurement and control device for filling machine and a discontinuous counter
This IPFNA can be suplemented with the specific software applications ’Filling Machine’ or ’Discontinuous counter’. As such, it has passed national approvals, as a measurement and automatic control device for filling machines and discontinuous counters.
NOTE: It is up to the manufacturer of the measurer or discontinuous counter to get a complete approval of any automatic weighing instruments made up in this way, in the most straightforward conditions possible.
It is also up to the manufacturer of the machine to install the identification plate and to present the machine for its first check, when necessary.
Approval of a continuous counter model
Associated with a weighing table, it is authorized as a continuous counter device.
Except for when used for commercial transitions, the identification plate shows:
When used for commercial transitions, the identification plate shows:
The first phase of the mandatory check is done in the factory on the complete instrument uncoupled from its conveyor, by means of a movement simulator; the other phases are carried out on the complete instrument.
With average precision, the appliance covers the range from the minimum (500 scale divisions) up to 6000 scale divisions. These instruments can be authorized or unauthorized to carry out commercial transitions. If it is unauthorized, ’PROHIBITED FOR ALL TRANSACTIONS’ is written on the appliance’s front panel.
