C.6 Further information

The manufacturing process, material and sealing (i.e., environmental protection) of the produced load cells shall be in accordance with the tested patterns; essential changes shall be identified and communicated to the issuing authority and are only allowed with the permission of the issuing authority based on the impact of those changes on the certification process.

Sufficient information shall be included to describe the patent design.

The typical errors related to linearity, hysteresis and temperature coefficient as indicated in the data sheet point out possible single errors of a pattern; however, the overall error of each pattern is determined by the maximum permissible error according OIML R 60-1, 5.3.2.

The technical data, the dimensions of the load cell and the principle of load transmission are given in section 6 of this Annex, “Data sheet and dimensions”, and shall be complied with.
