Anyone operating a legally controlled scale should keep an eye on the deadline for periodic reverification.
The deadline for submitting the verification application this year is October 22, 2026.
The reverification of a measuring instrument must be requested from the responsible weights and measures office. The application must be submitted at least 10 weeks before the verification validity expires. This deadline is set by the weights and measures office.
When does the verification validity end?
The verification validity of a scale generally ends on December 31st of the final year of validity.
Important: If the application is submitted on time, the scale can generally continue to be used for legally controlled transactions even if the actual verification appointment takes place after December 31st of the expiry year.
Conversely, if the application is not submitted in time, the scale may generally no longer be used for legally controlled transactions once the verification validity has expired. Depending on the situation, further use may only be permitted with an exemption permit. Otherwise, fines may be imposed.
