According to ISO 9001, I have to calibrate and verify my balance at specified intervals. But the standard makes no statement on how this should be done or how often. Good Weighing Practice™ provides me with a recommendation on testing, based on my specific needs, meeting my internal requirements as well as ISO9001. The GWP® recommendation also contains all relevant information about test weights and SOPs. So, I am sure to do the right thing."
