Defined as measuring instruments in ISO 3310, test sieves are subject of national laws governing technical and legal metrology (e.g. Bundesgesetz \u00fcber das Messwesen MessG in Germany &amp; Switzerland, MEG in Austria) as well as quality assurance regulations such as ISO 9001. Additionally, when used for specialized applications, test sieves and their operation is subject to requirements and guidelines of various agencies (e.g. grain sieves are subject of regulations imposed by government intervention boards).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Optical_Inspection_Visual_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1406 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Optical_Inspection_Visual_1-450x330.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Optical_Inspection_Visual_1-450x330.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Optical_Inspection_Visual_1-800x587.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Optical_Inspection_Visual_1-768x564.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Optical_Inspection_Visual_1-370x270.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Optical_Inspection_Visual_1-600x440.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Optical_Inspection_Visual_1.jpg 925w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;\">Generally, under the legal terms of the majority of metrology laws, test sieves \u2013 when employed as measuring instruments in a legal sense \u2013 are to be \u201cinspected regularly,\u201d though the periods between inspections and the nature of the inspections themselves is left to the discretion of the operator. According to ISO 9001, an inspection is needed \u201cat regular intervals or prior to use\u201d whereas internal inspection by the operator or re-certification by an authorized entity are both permissible. For grain sieves, many regulations call for a mandatory annual re-certification (ref. German Federal Office for Agriculture and Food).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">To satisfy the requirements for regular internal inspection, operators of test sieves can employ calibrated Normsand or standardized material samples such as glass beads for sieve calibration which yields a cursory determination whether the sieve remains norm compliant and may be sufficient for most applications. Disadvantages of these methods are mainly found in the accuracy of results obtained which, in large part, depends on the sourcing and quality of the reference materials.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;\">For complete metrological traceability and compliance with national \/ international standards, test sieves are to undergo re-certification via the methods specified in the respective standards which in most cases is an optical inspection. Blau-Metall offers norm-compliant re-certification of test sieves (including those from other manufacturers) using modern Image Dimension Measurement Technology that allows for an absolute measurement accuracy of \u00b15 \u00b5m in standard and \u00b10.5 \u00b5m in precision operation mode.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Requirements for Re-Certification:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Sieves are to be cleaned by the customer (Ultrasonic cleaning by us is possible at additional cost)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The sieves must be free of harmful contaminants<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">A declaration of no objection has to be provided by the customer with the shipment of sieves (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Declaration-of-Contamination.pdf\">Download Form<\/a>)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/public_docs\/Re-Certification%20-%20Services%20&#038;%20Prices.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\" data-toolbar=\"both\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">Re-Certification - Services &amp; Prices<\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blau-Metall offers re-certification services for all types of test sieves up to a diameter of 400 mm, including those of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1402","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1402"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1402\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1522,"href":"https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1402\/revisions\/1522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iso5223.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
