The EC Directive 90/384/EEC states some essential requirements for the
protection against changes, manipulation or fraudulent use of non-automatic
weighing instruments (NAWIs) which, in principle, have to be applied also to

metrological qualities when properly used and installed, and when used in an
environment for which they are intended...
(ii) Annex I, No 8.5, Directive 90/384/EEC: The instruments shall have
no characteristics likely to facilitate fraudulent use, whereas possibilities
for unintentional misuse shall be minimal. Components that may not be
dismantled or adjusted by the user shall be secured against such actions.
(iii) Annex II, No. 1.7, Directive 90/384/EEC: The applicant shall keep
the notified body that has issued the EC type-approval certificate informed of
any modification to the approved type...
