9.—(1) A beltweigher shall have no feature likely to facilitate fraudulent use, whereas possibilities for unintentional misuse shall be minimal.
(2) A beltweigher shall be suitable for its intended use taking account of the practical working conditions and shall not require unreasonable demands of the user in order to obtain a correct measurement result.
(3) Where a beltweigher is designed for the measurement of values of the measurand that are constant over time, the instrument shall be insensitive to small fluctuations of the value of the measurand, or shall take appropriate action.
(4) A beltweigher shall be robust and its materials of construction shall be suitable for the conditions in which it is intended to be used.
(5) A beltweigher shall be designed so as to allow the control of the measuring tasks after the instrument has been placed on the market and put into use. If necessary, special equipment or software for this control shall be part of the instrument. The test procedure shall be described in the operation manual.
(6) When an instrument has associated software which provides other functions besides the measuring function, the software that is critical for the metrological characteristics shall be identifiable and shall not be inadmissibly influenced by the associated software.
(7) Means shall be provided to limit the effects of tilt, loading and rate of operation such that MPEs are not exceeded in normal operation.
(8) Adequate material handling facilities shall be provided to enable the instrument to respect the MPE during normal operation.
(9) Any operator control interface shall be clear and effective.
(10) The integrity of the display (where present) shall be verifiable by the operator.
