6.2.2 Mandatory additional information

The following mandatory information shall be provided in a document accompanying the load cell supplied by the manufacturer and submitted to the user or, if space permits, they may be marked on the load cell. Where the information provided is associated with a specific unit of measure, the unit (g, kg, t) shall also be specified.

  1. Manufacturer’s name or trade mark

  2. Manufacturer’s type designation or load cell model

  3. Accuracy class(es); see 6.2.4.1

  4. Type of load; see 6.2.4.2

  5. Working temperature when required; see 6.2.4.3

  6. Humidity symbol when required; see 6.2.4.4

  7. Maximum capacity as:

  8. Minimum dead load as:

  9. Safe load limit as:

  10. Minimum load cell verification interval as (or relative minimum load cell verification interval, ) =

  11. Value of the apportioning factor, , if not equal to 0.7; and

  12. Other pertinent conditions that must be observed to obtain the specified performance (for example, electrical characteristics of the load cell such as output rating, input impedance, supply voltage, cable details, mounting torque, etc.).
