5.6 Influence quantities (Rated operating conditions)

Load cells shall be evaluated under the conditions specified in 5.6.1 to 5.6.3 . An evaluation may include additional special testing performed under conditions that vary from those specified in 5.6.1 to 5.6.3 if requested and specified by the applicant submitting the load cell for evaluation. This special testing may be performed in addition to, but not instead of testing under the specified conditions in 5.6.1 to 5.6.3 .

Load cells that are equipped with functions typically performed by complete instruments may be required to be evaluated against additional requirements contained in other OIML Recommendations for those complete instruments. These additional evaluations are outside the scope of this Recommendation (see 2.3 and Figure 2 ).
