# Non-automatic weighing instruments · class I, load 50 000 e < m ≤ 200 000 e, on initial verification — Accuracy classes and maximum permissible errors for trade measuring instruments

For Non-automatic weighing instruments, condition is class I, load 50 000 e < m ≤ 200 000 e, on initial verification; accuracy class is I; maximum permissible error is ± 1,0 e; scope or member state option is The maximum permissible errors in service are twice the maximum permissible errors fixed in Section 4.1, recorded from its source on 2026-10-13.

## Where each value comes from

This source states these in separate places, so each value is shown with the passage it comes from.

### Instrument type

> 1. This Directive shall apply to all non-automatic weighing instruments.

### Accuracy class

The source prints this value inside the passage below but does not name it there. The passage shows where it appears; what ties it to this record is the position on the page, not anything the passage says.

### Scope or member state option

> The maximum permissible errors in service are twice the maximum permissible errors fixed in Section 4.1.

## What oiml.org says

> The maximum permissible errors for increasing or decreasing loads are given in Table 6.
