Legalized Scales Meaning Which Ones? RADWAG Legalised Scales

Legalized Scales Meaning Which Ones? RADWAG Legalised Scales

 

Legalisation (of scales) is the colloquial term for ‘conformity assessment (of scales)’. Legalised scales are intended – in short – for determining weight in commercial transactions, for calculating specific payments, in the application of legal regulations, in medical practice, in the preparation of prescription drugs, in consumer sales and in the packaging of goods. Which legalised scales do you find in RADWAG’s offer?

 

Who Is Affected by the Legalisation of Scales?

All non-automatic scales, which, according to §3 of the regulation of the Minister of Development of 2 June 2016 on requirements for non-automatic scales (Journal of Laws, item 802), must meet the requirements set out in EU legislation, if their purpose is determination of:

  • mass in trade
  • mass for the calculation of a fee, duty, tax, premium, discount, penalty, remuneration, compensation or similar payments
  • mass in the application of laws and in the giving of opinions in court proceedings by experts and legal professionals
  • mass in medical practice for the purposes of monitoring, diagnosis and treatment
  • mass in the preparation of prescription drugs in pharmacies and in analyses carried out by medical and pharmaceutical laboratories
  • price on the basis of weight for consumer sales and pre-packaging of goods,

are subject to legalisation before being placed on the market.

 

RADWAG Legalised Scales

You will find scales with legalisation in RADWAG’s offer. These include among others legalised balances for laboratorieslegalised balances for jewellerslegalised precision balanceslegalised medical scaleslegalised scales for industry and other scales with legalisation.

 

Legalised Balances for the Laboratory

If you are wondering which RADWAG balances for the laboratory are legalised, we have good news for you: we offer a range of legalised devices designed for use in laboratory environments. Depending on your desired balance parameters, such as readabilty and maximum capacity, among others, and its application, you can choose from the following products: ultra-microbalances, microbalances, analytical balances, precision balances and moisture analyzers. All the devices listed are essential tools for the laboratory environment.

 

Jewellery Legalised Balances

If you need a precise balance to weigh your jewellery because you are a jeweller or work in a pawnshop, the shop radwaguk.com offers you legalised jewellery balances. Our balances will also be ideal for collectors, especially numismatists, but not only – also for scientistspharmacists and anyone who needs precise weight measurement.

 

Medical Legalised Scales

Medical legalised scales are another category of equipment with which the RADWAG scales shop is equipped. Our extensive offer includes legalised medical scales for hospitals and private practices. These include legalised scales with a height gauge –  essential, for example, in a school nurse’s office –  which allow BMI to be determined. We also have legalised balances for pharma – extremely accurate devices for pharmacistsbiotechnologistslaboratory technicians and chemists.

 

Legalised Scales for Industry

The RADWAG scales shop also offers legalised scales for industry, which you can use on the production line, in halls and in warehouses. Of particular interest are our legalised checkweighers, i.e. automatic scales, which we tailor to the exacting needs of each customer. Equally sought after on the market are the so-called legalised scales for Ex zones. In order to be approved for use in such a demanding environment, scales designed for explosive areas must comply with specialised safety procedures. Our scales are ATEX certified and GLP compliant.

You can find RADWAG scales with legalisation in the online shop radwaguk.com.

 

Where Can I Read that a Particular RADWAG Scale is Legalised?

You will find information about the legalisation of a specific scale in the RADWAG scale shop, on the subpage of each balance or scale. You will certainly not miss it – a legalised one is marked with a capital letter M.
