Many members will be familiar with EN 45501, the European Standard for non-automatic weighing instruments. The standard underpins the NAWI Directive and amongst other things lays down the testing requirements for verification.
The Standard is now some 16 years old and the European Commission recently issued a Mandate to CEN/CENELEC to produce an updated harmonised standard. The first draft of the new standard has just been circulated by BSI. It is based very closely on the 2006 version of OIML R76 and it is hoped that it will be finalised before the end of the year. |
