What does OIML Class F1 signify for a calibration weight?

OIML Class F1 denotes a high-precision weight suitable for calibrating analytical balances and precision scales. It ensures a tighter tolerance on the nominal mass compared to lower classes.

Why is the material of a calibration weight important?

The material, typically polished stainless steel, is chosen for its stability, corrosion resistance, and non-magnetic properties. This minimises environmental influences on the weight's mass over time.

Does this weight require regular recalibration?

Yes, calibration weights, especially those used in regulated environments, require periodic recalibration by an accredited laboratory to maintain their certified accuracy and traceability.

How should a calibration weight be handled and stored?

Calibration weights should always be handled with clean, lint-free gloves or forceps to prevent contamination. They should be stored in their protective case in a stable, clean environment to avoid damage or degradation.

Can this weight be used in environments with specific quality protocols like GLP or GMP?

Yes, an OIML F1 class weight made from suitable materials is typically ideal for laboratories and manufacturing facilities adhering to strict quality control protocols such as GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice).
