Here is the results of my investigation. The following is paraphrased from Directive 90/384/EEC which covers "non-authomatic weighing instruments" A weighing instrument determines mass. A non-automatic weighing instrument requires the intervention of an operator during operation. (I guess a keystroke on a cash register to capture the data would count as an intervention) In cases where the instrument includes or is connected to devices which are not used for mass determination, such devices are not subject to the directive. (I would think that reporting the determination would not be a problem as long as the mass had already been determined. However, that is how we are being challenged- i.e, are we accurately reporting the data.) Anyone out there have any dealings in this area where you manufacture an electronic device that reports data from a "non-automatic weighing instrument? I guess cash registers would fall into this camp.
