Basic checks
Before testing:
Place the scale on a suitable surface.
Ensure the platform is clean.
Confirm that the scale starts at zero.
Check for visible damage.
Avoid exceeding the rated capacity.
Known reference weights can then be applied and the readings recorded.
Why professional calibration matters
A simple workplace check does not replace professional calibration where formal accuracy requirements apply.
If the scale fails a check, professional inspection can determine whether calibration, adjustment, repair, or replacement is required.
Keep records
Businesses can record testing dates, readings, repairs, and calibration results to monitor scale performance over time.
