Warrantied parts are missing, scales aren’t calibrated correctly, and the company in question is providing little to no service support.

You work at a company and perform the same tasks the same way “just because.” You might have been shown how to complete a particular procedure and took for granted that it’s just the way that it’s done.

While these terms might not mean anything to you now, they are extremely important certifications for your business. In all commercial applications where the product is sold in increments of weight, it is a legal requirement that the scales being used to conduct the transaction are verified as legal for trade.  [Read More](https://marketing.alliancescale.com/blog/what-is-a-legal-for-trade-scale) ## [How to Calibrate Your Mettler Toledo Scales](https://marketing.alliancescale.com/blog/how-to-calibrate-your-mettler-toledo-scales) Jun 12, 2018 3:46:01 PM / by [Ray Secour](https://marketing.alliancescale.com/blog/author/ray) posted in [Scale calibration](https://marketing.alliancescale.com/blog/topic/scale-calibration), [Industrial Weighing Scales](https://marketing.alliancescale.com/blog/topic/industrial-weighing-scales), [Weight Calibration Service](https://marketing.alliancescale.com/blog/topic/weight-calibration-service) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://marketing.alliancescale.com/hubfs/Mettler_Toldeo_Scale_Calibration.jpg)](https://marketing.alliancescale.com/blog/how-to-calibrate-your-mettler-toledo-scales) **Operate Accurately with Regular Scale Calibration** The Mettler Toledo name is very familiar in most industries when it comes to accuracy in scale products.

Without the "safe zone" – an order of magnitude that dictates your weighing scales' accuracy should be dependable to a tenth of amounts that you commonly weigh – you could be putting your company in a vulnerable, and potentially liable, situation.
