Minimum range according to legal metrology
Minimum Weight Its importance in an analytical or industrial process

There are not many official documents on the subject of minimum weights. They mainly come from the authorities in charge of legal metrology:

• International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) ;

• Ministère de l'industrie, S/Direction de la métrologie.

The normative documents published by AFNOR and CEN/CENELEC reproduce word for word the information derived from legal metrology.

General Chapter <41> of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has been updated to introduce its minimum weight requirements. USP General Chapter <1251> provides more details on determining minimum weight.

A draft article in the European Pharmacopoeia PE clearly defines minimum weighing requirements.

The cg 18 calibration guide published by Euramet also defines how to determine the minimum weight.
