What is Good Weighing Practice™?

 

GWP® is a global  weighing standard that can be applied to new or existing weighing equipment from any manufacturer in any industry and workplace.

METTLER TOLEDO developed GWP® as a standardized methodology for safe selection, calibration and operation of weighing equipment.

Users who focus on stable processes, constant product quality, lean manufacturing  or regulatory compliance can use GWP® as the benchmark to select and calibrate their weighing equipment.
