    I’m also confused about what are the EU/UK legal requirements when it comes to scales. I was advised that:

    1) to weight finished products the scale would have to weigh in increments of 0.1g, be trade-approved and sent to calibration yearly;

    2) while to weigh ingredients for manufacturing the scale would have to weigh in increments of 0.01g, no need to be trade-approved and should be calibrated in-house by us (but I’m not sure what calibration frequency is ideal GMP).

    Some scales have, in addition to the “d” symbol for resolution, an<font face=”inherit”> “e” symbol for verification, which I’m also not sure if there </font>are <font face=”inherit”>any requirements regarding that. Does anyone hold any accurate information that could be helpful or insights about the practice in your country? Many thanks!</font>
