What is OIML? In Europe the weight classification system adopted is that produced by the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML), known as document OIML Recommendation R 111. It describes the metrological aspects of reference standard weights with recommendations for seven classes of weights - from high quality reference standards at Class F1 to those used in industrial settings at Class M3.

What is UKAS? Accreditation by UKAS means that evaluators i.e. testing and calibration laboratories, certification and inspection bodies have been assessed against internationally recognised standards to demonstrate their competence, impartiality and performance capability. It is the ability to distinguish between a proven, competent evaluator that ensures that the selection of a laboratory, certification or inspection body is an informed choice and not a gamble. UKAS accreditation means the evaluator can show to its customer that it has been successful at meeting the requirements of international accreditation standards

What is NVLAP?
