Do I need a calibration certificate for my digital scales?

Whether you need a calibration certificate for your digital scales depends on the context.

For personal use, it is not necessary, but for businesses, especially those in regulated industries like trade or healthcare, a calibration certificate is likely to be a required. It ensures compliance with accuracy standards and may be a legal requirement in some industries.

All digital scales are factory calibrated during the final stages of production. If for ISO records for a quality management system a calibration certificate is required, a specific scale will be taken from stock and recalibrated, and a traceable certificate of calibration issued.

Having a calibration certificate not only provides assurance of precise measurements but also demonstrates a commitment to quality and adherence to industry regulations, instilling confidence among customers and regulatory authorities.
