Assess Your Balance
Do You Trust Your Weighing Results?
Did you know that the accuracy of a balance degrades over time due to normal wear, tear, and environmental changes?
Only regular calibration lets you know how reliable your weighing results are. Without it, you risk:
- Bad batches
- Product rework and recalls
- Process and audit issues
Perform our quick self-check to receive an immediate indication about your balance performance.

The check result does not provide a full picture of the performance of your weighing device, it is not binding in any way and does not replace a calibration. To ensure continuous weighing accuracy, it is necessary to conduct calibration and test procedures in a regular manner. The result is only based on specifically selected parameters such as risk and weighing tolerances and on the repeatability. Other factors, which might have an influence on the performance of the device, such as the location, environmental conditions, eccentricity, error of indication or sensitivity deviation have not been taken into account. Therefore, the result given is to be considered as a recommendation only. The final responsibility is with the user of the weighing equipment.

1. Does this check replace a calibration?
No, this check does not replace a calibration since it is does not provide a full picture of the performance of your balance. The result is only based on specifically selected parameters such as risk, weighing tolerances and repeatability. Other factors that could influence the performance of the device, such as the location, environmental conditions, eccentricity, error of indication or sensitivity deviation have not been taken into account. To ensure continuous weighing accuracy, it is necessary to conduct calibration and test procedures in a regular manner – Learn more about the importance of calibration
2. Why should I perform this test?
Do you regularly calibrate your balance? The accuracy of a balance degrades over time through normal wear and tear. External factors such as mechanical shocks or a hazardous environment also take their toll. Only an on-site calibration lets you know how reliable your weighing results are. This test will give you an immediate indication of your balance performance and if your balance meets your process tolerances, though it does not replace calibration. Moreover, based on the result, we will provide you with tailored service recommendations to help you ensure accurate weighing.
3. How significant is the check result?
This simplified test does not replace a calibration, but gives you an indication of your balance performance. Based on your weighing tolerance and the smallest net weight, it helps to determine whether your balance is capable of meeting your process requirements, or if it is being pushed to its performance limits. However, to be sure that your accuracy requirements are being met, you need an on-site calibration.
