Type testing facilities for load cells in The Netherlands

摘要

NMi B.V. is the sole private enterprise laboratory in The Netherlands that carries out type testing in the field of Legal metrology, and has been appointed as a "Notified Body" by the Dutch Government. Many OIML test certi- Ficates have been issued by Nmi Certin, and the C-TM Department (Certin Type Approval Measuring Instru- Ments) has been active in type testing load cells since the Late 1960's. Initially tests were based on national require- Ments, but since the publication of OIML R60 Metro- Logical regulation for load cells (1991), this Recommenda- Tion has been fully adopted. 95 out of the 173 OIML Certificates for load cells have been issued by Nmi Certin (as at March 15, 1999).
