10.2 Servicing
To ensure the continued accuracy of your scale, we recommend scheduling regular
servicing at least once a year. Sartorius Service offers different service contracts with
maintenance intervals that are tailored to your needs.
A calibration certificate should always be issued as part of every maintenance
session. Safety inspections of the power supply and its connections must be
performed at appropriate intervals by a qualified electrician (e.g. every two years).
