About non-automatic weighing instruments
A non-automatic weighing instrument (NAWI) is a weighing instrument that requires the intervention of an operator during the weighing process.
The Directive covers, among other things, weighing instruments used for:
- trade and commercial transactions based on weight
- the calculation of taxes, customs duties, and fees
- legal and governmental purposes
- patient weighing in healthcare settings
- prescription compounding in pharmacies
- medical and pharmaceutical laboratories
- direct sales to consumers
Process and delivery
- Type Examination (Module B)
The manufacturer submits an application together with the technical documentation. RISE reviews the documentation and assesses whether the weighing instrument complies with the requirements of the Directive. Where harmonised standards are applied, these form the basis of the assessment. If the standards are not applied, RISE develops an evaluation plan in cooperation with the manufacturer.
If the weighing instrument meets the requirements, RISE issues an EU Type Examination Certificate. The certificate is normally valid for 10 years.
- Quality System Assessment (Module D)
RISE assesses the manufacturer's quality system to ensure that production consistently complies with the requirements for the approved weighing instrument type. The assessment includes an initial review followed by regular surveillance activities.
Once the quality system has been approved, RISE issues an Assessment Decision. The certificate is valid for three years and is maintained through annual assessments.
- Product Verification (Module F)
RISE verifies that manufactured weighing instruments conform to a valid type examination certificate. Verification may be carried out on each individual instrument or by statistical sampling.
If the product meets the requirements, RISE issues a Certificate of Conformity. This certificate provides the manufacturer with the basis for using RISE's notified body identification number together with the CE marking on the verified products.
More information
It is the manufacturer's responsibility to ensure that the weighing instrument complies with the requirements of the Directive and is correctly CE marked.
The manufacturer is defined as the person or organisation that places the non-automatic weighing instrument on the market under its own name, regardless of whether the instrument was manufactured by that person or organisation or produced on their behalf by another party.
