What is NAWI Certification?

NAWI stands for Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments. Weighing instruments used for medical weighing have to comply with the requirements of the NAWI directive 90/384/EEC. The directive is implemented in the UK by the Non-automatic weighing Instruments Regulation 2002. Under these regulations, the design of medical weighing instruments must be approved by a notified body, and all products from the production line must be individually verified for conformity and accuracy by a Trading Standards officer or other approved verifier. Each instrument must be covered by a Declaration of Conformity and bear the "" label indicating conformity with the Directive and the Regulations.
