Certified sample weights to ensure regulatory compliance

Gibertini Elettronica supplies calibration weights and sample masses to quickly and independently perform calibrations on your laboratory instruments (Classes M, F or E), or control of approved scales (legal metrology) in the industrial sector.

OIML CLASSES

How to choose sample weights

The International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) is a global intergovernmental organization whose primary objective is the harmonization of regulations and metrological controls applied by national metrology bodies, or by similar bodies of its member states. The internationally recognized OIML R111: 2004 standard divides sample weights into classes, where E1 is the most accurate case and M3 the least accurate.

Accuracy class	Scale category	Description	Resolution
E1	I	Semi and micro high resolution scales	Beyond 500.000 d
E2	I	High resolution analytical scales	Beyond 100.000 d
F1	II	Analytical / Precision scales	up to 100.000 d
F2	II	Precision scales	up to 50.000 d
M1	II e III	Industrial scales and approved scales	up to 10.000 d

The accuracy classes of the masses used with weighing instruments must be chosen in accordance with the provisions of R 76 of the OIML "Non-automatic weighing instruments".

TOLERANCES

OIML R111-1: 2004 Table of maximum permitted errors

The OIML R111 standard establishes the maximum permitted errors for the weights of the different classes according to the table on the side (± δm in mg). If the sample masses are used for calibration or verification of a balance:

it is necessary to use masses whose error is less than 1/3 of the instrument's division.
it must be ensured that the sample weights are certified, i.e. capable of providing accurate calibration results
The periodicity of the calibration of the sample masses varies according to the accuracy class, the frequency of use and the conditions of use
