Did you know?! Using Scale vs Balance incorrectly risks an audit without you realizing it
This matter is very important, especially for QA teams. Many organizations collectively refer to them as "scales," but in reality, scales and balances have different purposes. Scales are suitable for general weighing tasks, large quantities, and moderate precision, while balances are suitable for tasks that require high accuracy, such as QC, Lab, and R&D.
The problem is, when using a scale instead of a balance for tasks that require precision, or using a device that is not suitable for the process, even if the instrument has been calibrated, auditors can still question, “Is this instrument suitable for actual use?”
Audits do not only check whether the instrument has passed calibration, but also whether the organization has chosen the tool correctly. Choosing correctly from the beginning is a way to reduce risks that many organizations should not overlook.
