The following dates are fixed: latest date by which this document has to be implemented at n
35、ational level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2015-08-13 latest date by which the national standards conflicting with this document have to be withdrawn (dow) 2015-08-13 This document supersedes EN 45501:1992. EN 45501:2015 includes the following significant
36、technical changes with respect to EN 45501:1992: In preparing this European Standard, EN 45501:1992 which formed the basis of this standard, was considered, but with additions and amendments to take into account the developments in technology which have occurred in the intervening years. Significant
37、 changes include, extensions to the EMC immunity requirements to reflect the greater use of wireless technology for many purposes, enhanced specifications for the integrity and security of software and testing regimes to confirm compliance, requirements for portable and mobile instruments, and recog
38、nition of the use of modular elements in families of instruments with enhanced testing requirements for both analog and digital modules and systems for confirming the compatibility of modules when combined into a single instrument or system. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to C
39、ENELEC by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For the relationship with EU Directive see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of this document. DIN EN 45501:2016-03 EN 45501:2015 (E) 5 Introduction This E
40、uropean Standard has been adapted from the OIML Recommendation R 76-1, Edition 2006, Non-automatic weighing instruments - Part 1: Metrological and technical requirements - Tests by a Joint Working Group from CEN and CENELEC. It was elaborated following a standardization request from the Commission o
41、f the European Communities to CEN and CENELEC to establish a European Standards related to Council Directive 2009/23/EC on Non-automatic weighing instruments. DIN EN 45501:2016-03 EN 45501:2015 (E) 6 Terminology (terms, definitions and references) The terminology used in this standard conforms to th
42、e “International Vocabulary of Basic and General Terms in Metrology” (VIM) 1 , the “International Vocabulary of Terms in Legal Metrology” (VIML) 2. In addition, for the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply. An index of all the terms, definitions and references defined below can
43、 be found under T.8. T.1 General definitions T.1.1 Weighing instrument Measuring instrument that serves to determine the mass of a body by using the action of gravity on this body. NOTE In this standard “mass” (or “weight value”) is preferably used in the sense of “conventional mass” or “conventiona
44、l value of the result of weighing in air”, according to OIML R111 or D28 whereas “weight” is preferably used for an embodiment (i.e. material measure) of mass that is regulated in regard to its physical and metrological characteristics. The instrument may also be used to determine other quantities,
45、magnitudes, parameters or characteristics related to the determined mass. According to its method of operation, a weighing instrument is classified as an automatic weighing instrument or a non-automatic weighing instrument. T.1.2 Non-automatic weighing instrument Instrument that requires the interve
46、ntion of an operator during the weighing process to decide that the weighing result is acceptable. NOTE 1 Deciding that the weighing result is acceptable includes any intelligent action by the operator that affects the result, such as taking an action when an indication is stable or adjusting the ma
47、ss of the weighed load, and to make a decision regarding the acceptance of each weighing result on observing the indication or releasing a print out. A non-automatic weighing process allows the operator to take an action (i.e. adjust the load, adjust the unit price, determine that the load is acceptable, etc.) which influences the weighing result in the case where the weighing result is not acceptable. A non-automatic weighing instrument may be
