negative influences:

– Drafts from open windows and doors

the balance to sit for 2 hours, at room temperature, before

Seal on Balances Verified for Use in Legal
Metrology in the EU*:
EU legislation requires that a control seal be affixed to
verified balances. The control seal consists of a sticker. If
the seal is broken, the verification becomes null and void
and the balance must be re-verified.
