  number of verification scale intervals

  number of verification scale intervals  means the value obtained by using the following formula:

  Max/e

  where

  e 

  represents the verification scale interval. (nombre d’échelons de vérification)

  verification scale interval

  verification scale interval or e  means a value, specified by the manufacturer and expressed in units of mass, that is used for the classification and inspection of a weighing device. (échelon de vérificationoue )

  weight classifier

  weight classifier  means a weighing device with a digital indicating element that rounds a weight value up to the next verification scale interval. (appareil classificateur)

• (2) In these Specifications, a reference to a verification scale interval or actual scale interval refers to that of the weighing range or partial weighing range, as the case may be, that is being tested.
