Weighing Dietary Supplement Powder during manufacturing

[quality4us]

I hoping someone can assist me. My Question is: Once the container of a Powdered Dietary Supplement is filled, what is the standard recommended time for taring a bench scale to ensure proper weight/fill? Should you tare your scale every half hour/hour or is there a recommended industry practice to ensure/verify proper fill? Thank you for any recommendations you can provide.

What is the rate of weighing? Hand weigh every 2 minutes? In motion weighing every 5 seconds? This is where a check standard would be handy. Tracking the weight of a calibrated check std would give you an idea of how stable the scale is after tare.
Also, with no mass applied, does the scale still read zero after some elapsed time--assuming there are no heavy drafts, etc.

Might be a little tricky, need more details on the process / machinery. On top of the scale itself, you also need to consider variability among the containers.
