Foreword
The International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) is a worldwide, intergovernmental organization
whose primary aim is to harmonize the regulations and metrological controls applied by the national
metrological services, or related organizations, of its Member States. The main categories of OIML
publications are:

International Recommendations (OIML R), which are model regulations that establish the
metrological characteristics required of certain measuring instruments and which specify methods
and equipment for checking their conformity. OIML Member States shall implement these
Recommendations to the greatest possible extent;

International Documents (OIML D), which are informative in nature and which are intended to
harmonize and improve work in the field of legal metrology;

International Guides (OIML G), which are also informative in nature and which are intended to
give guidelines for the application of certain requirements to legal metrology; and

International Basic Publications (OIML B), which define the operating rules of the various OIML
structures and systems.

OIML Draft Recommendations, Documents and Guides are developed by Technical Committees or
Subcommittees which comprise representatives from the Member States. Certain international and regional
institutions also participate on a consultation basis. Cooperative agreements have been established between
the OIML and certain institutions, such as ISO and the IEC, with the objective of avoiding contradictory
requirements. Consequently, manufacturers and users of measuring instruments, test laboratories, etc. may
simultaneously apply OIML publications and those of other institutions.
International Recommendations, Documents, Guides and Basic Publications are published in English (E) and
translated into French (F) and are subject to periodic revision.
Additionally, the OIML publishes or participates in the publication of Vocabularies (OIML V) and
periodically commissions legal metrology experts to write Expert Reports (OIML E). Expert Reports are
intended to provide information and advice, and are written solely from the viewpoint of their author,
without the involvement of a Technical Committee or Subcommittee, nor that of the International Committee
of Legal Metrology. Thus, they do not necessarily represent the views of the OIML.
This publication reference OIML R 76-2, Edition 2007 was developed by Technical Subcommittee
TC 9/SC 1 Non-automatic weighing instruments. It was approved for final publication by the International
Committee of Legal Metrology in 2007 and supersedes the previous edition of R 76-2 (1993).
OIML Publications may be downloaded from the OIML web site in the form of PDF files. Additional
information on OIML Publications may be obtained from the Organizations headquarters:

Introduction
The Type evaluation report, the subject of R 76-2, aims at presenting, in a standardized format, the results of the
various tests to which a type of a non-automatic weighing instrument shall be submitted with a view to its approval.
These tests are described in Annexes A and B of R 76-1.
All metrology services or laboratories evaluating types of non-automatic weighing instruments according to R 76-1 or
to national or regional regulations based on OIML R 76-1 are strongly advised to use this Type evaluation report,
directly or after translation into a language other than English or French. Its direct use in English or in French, or in both
languages, is even more strongly recommended whenever test results may be transmitted by the country performing
these tests to the approving authorities of another country, under bi- or multi-lateral co-operation agreements. In the
framework of the OIML Certificate System for Measuring Instruments, and the OIML Mutual Acceptance Arrangement
(MAA), use of this report format is mandatory, in French and/or in English with translation into the national languages
of the countries issuing such certificates, if appropriate.
The information concerning the test equipment used for type evaluation shall cover all test equipment which has been
used in determining the test results given in a report. The information may be a short list containing only essential data
(name, type, reference number for purpose of traceability). For example:

Verification standards (accuracy, or accuracy class, and no.);

Simulator for testing of modules (name, type, traceability and no.);
Climatic test and static temperature chamber (name, type and no.);
Electrical tests, bursts (name of the instrument, type and no.);
Description of the procedure of field calibration for the test of immunity to radiated electromagnetic fields.

Note concerning the numbering of the following pages

In addition to a sequential numbering: R 76-2 page ..... at the bottom of the pages of this publication, a special place is
left at the top of each page (starting with the following page) for numbering the pages of reports established following
this model; in particular, some tests (e.g. weighing performance) shall be repeated several times, each test being
reported individually on a separate page following the relevant format; in the same way, a multiple range instrument
shall be tested separately for each range and a separate form (including the general information form) shall be filled out
for each range. For a given report, it is advisable to complete the sequential numbering of each page by the indication of
the total number of pages of the report.

Bar. pres. = barometric pressure (barometric pressure is necessary for the span stability test and when specified by IEC
test provisions; in other cases it may be necessary only for class I instruments).
Date in the test report refers to the date on which the test was performed.
In the disturbance tests (12.1 through 12.7), faults greater than e are acceptable provided that they are detected and acted
upon, or that they result from circumstances such that these faults shall not be considered as significant (see T.5.5.6 in
R 76-1); an appropriate explanation shall be given in the column Yes (remarks).
Numbers in brackets refer to the corresponding subclauses of OIML R 76-1.

EXAMINATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE INSTRUMENT

Use this page to indicate any description or information pertaining to the instrument, additional to that already contained
in this report and in the accompanying national type approval or OIML Certificate. This may include a picture of the
complete instrument, a description of its main components, and any remark which could be useful for authorities
responsible for the initial or subsequent verification of individual instruments built according to the type. It may also
include references to the manufacturer.

CHECKLIST
This checklist has been developed based on the following principles:

to include requirements that cannot be tested according to tests 1 through 15 above, but that shall be checked
experimentally, e.g. the operating range of the tare device (4.6.4), or visually, e.g. the descriptive markings
(7.1);

to include requirements which indicate prohibitions of some functions, e.g. automatic tare device for
instruments for direct sales to the public (4.13.3.3);

to include neither general requirements, e.g. suitability for use (4.1.1.2), nor weights and verification devices,
e.g. auxiliary verification devices (4.9);

not to include requirements that allow functions or devices to be used, e.g. a combined semi-automatic zerosetting and tare device operated by the same key (4.5.4).

This checklist is intended to serve as a summary of the results of examinations to be performed and not as a procedure.
The items on this checklist are provided to recall the requirements specified in R 76-1, and they shall not be considered
as a substitution to these requirements.
As for non-self-indicating instruments, clause 6 of R 76-1 shall be followed in lieu of this checklist.
The requirements that are not included in this type evaluation report (tests 1-15 and checklist 17) are considered to be
globally covered by the type approval or OIML Certificate (e.g. classification criteria [3.2 and 3.3], suitability for
application, use and verification [4.1.1.1, 4.1.1.2 and 4.1.1.3]).
For non-mandatory devices, the checklist provides space to indicate whether or not the device exists and, if appropriate,
its type. A cross in the box for existent indicates that the device exists and that it complies with the definition given in
the terminology. When indicating that a device is non-existent, also check the boxes to indicate that the tests are not
applicable (see page 5).
If appropriate, the results stated in this checklist may be supplemented by remarks given on additional pages.

Disturbances
indication of significant faults in the display does not lead to
confusion with other messages
Acting upon significant faults in case 5.1.1 b):
instrument made automatically inoperative 1, or
visual or audible indication until user takes action or fault
disappears1
Display check
Upon switch-on:
signs of indication are active and non-active long enough to
be checked by operator
External equipment
Interfaces (mechanical, electrical, logical) do not allow:
functions and measurement data to be inadmissibly
influenced by peripheral devices, or other connected
instruments, or disturbances
displaying data which could be mistaken for a weighing
result
falsifying weighing results (displayed, processed, stored)
changing adjustment factor or adjusting the instrument
(except authorized cases)
falsifying displayed primary indications (direct sales)
interfaces that do not fulfill 5.3.6.1 can be secured
interfaces transmit data so that peripheral device can meet
requirements
metrologically relevant functions performed or initiated
through the interface meet relevant requirements of R 76-1

Checked by verifying the compliance with documents or by simulating faults; this check does not duplicate the
disturbance tests 12.1-12.7.
