In order to facilitate a comparison of the reports established in English and in French, the same abbreviations (those of the English language) are used in both versions; the meanings of these abbreviations are given whenever appropriate.

In testing and evaluating load cells for type evaluation, it is recognised that the test apparatus and practices used by the various laboratories will be different. OIML R 60 allows for these variations and still provides a method for testing, recording and calculating results that are readily understandable by other knowledgeable parties reviewing the data.

In order to achieve this ease of comparability it is necessary that those persons conducting the tests use a common system for recording data and calculating results.

Thus, it is essential that the calculation procedures below be reviewed and followed closely in the completion of this test report.
