1 Introduction
1.1
This Report Format applies to any kind of load cell (independent of its technology). It presents a standardised format for the results of the various tests and examinations, described in OIML R 60-2, to which a type of load cell shall be submitted for the purpose of its approval based on this OIML Recommendation.
1.2
It is recommended that all metrology services or laboratories evaluating and/or testing types of load cells according to OIML R 60-1, or to national or regional regulations based on this Recommendation, use this Report Format, directly or after translation into a language other than English or French. In the case of a translation, it is highly recommended to leave the structure and the numbers of the clauses unchanged: in this case, most of the content is also understandable for those who cannot read the language of the translation.
1.3
Some of the tests may have to be repeated several times and reported using several identical sheets; therefore, report pages must be numbered in the space provided at the top of each page, completed by the indication of the total number of pages.
1.4
In the practical application of the Report Format, in addition to a cover page by the Issuing Authority, as a minimum, clauses A-F (as necessary) shall be included.
