2.4 Monitoring the test substances
The metrology features of the balance and any possible available adjusting weight
must be checked at regular intervals within the scope of quality assurance. For this
purpose, the answerable user must define a suitable interval as well as the nature
and scope of this check. Information is available on KERN's home page (www.kern-
sohn.com) with regard to the monitoring of balance test substances and the test
weights required for this. Test weights and balances can be adjusted quickly and at
a reasonable price in KERN's accredited DKD calibration laboratory (return to na-
tional normal).
