Hi
At our comp[any we made changing tables, shower trolleys etc. for adults who need assistance during hygiene tasks.
Part of the testing procedure is placing weights onto the support surface for a period of time, the tolerance on weights in the relevant standard is +5% -0%.
My question is this,
Each weight can be up to 40kg grouped together to reach 200kg or above. we have a certified scale which is calibrated yearly and verified before use. In 9001 7.1.5.2 it says verified, calibrated or both. Are we OK to say the weights are verified using the certified scales and recorded. These weights are simply standard cast iron weights, no means of calibrating simply lumps of metal that have a certain mass. As far as I can see as long as this mass is verified using the scales all should be fine.
Is my assumption correct.
Thanks
