Legislation originating from the EU
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
This item of legislation originated from the EU
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
Status:
This is the original version (as it was originally adopted).
CHAPTER IV Discontinuous Totalisers
1. Accuracy Classes
Instruments are divided into four accuracy classes as follows: 0,2; 0,5; 1; 2.
2. MPEs
Table 6
| Accuracy class | MPE of totalised load |
|---|---|
| 0,2 | ± 0,10 % |
| 0,5 | ± 0,25 % |
| 1 | ± 0,50 % |
| 2 | ± 1,00 % |
3. Totalisation scale interval
The totalisation scale interval (dt) shall be in the range:
0,01 % Max ≤ dt ≤ 0,2 % Max
4. Minimum Totalised Load (Σmin)
The minimum totalised load (Σmin) shall be not less than the load at which the MPE is equal to the totalisation scale interval (dt) and not less than the minimum load as specified by the manufacturer.
5. Zero Setting
Instruments that do not tare weigh after each discharge shall have a zero setting device. Automatic operation shall be inhibited if zero indication varies by:
1 dt on instruments with automatic zero setting device;
0,5 dt on instruments with a semi-automatic, or non-automatic, zero setting device.
6. Operator Interface
Operator adjustments and reset function shall be inhibited during automatic operation.
7. Printout
On instruments equipped with a printing device, the reset of the total shall be inhibited until the total is printed. The printout of the total shall occur if automatic operation is interrupted.
8. Performance under influence factors and electromagnetic disturbances
8.1.The MPEs due to influence factors shall be as specified in Table 7.
| Table 7 | |
| Load (m) in totalisation scale intervals (dt) | MPE |
|---|---|
| 0 < m ≤ 500 | ± 0,5 dt |
| 500 < m ≤ 2 000 | ± 1,0 dt |
| 2 000 < m ≤ 10 000 | ± 1,5 dt |
8.2.The critical change value due to a disturbance is one totalisation scale interval for any weight indication and any stored total.
