When is a service agent not required to notify the sealer of an adjustment to a device?

The situation where a service agent is not required to notify the sealer of an adjustment to a device occurs when the adjustment is solely for the purpose of maintaining the device in a zero balance condition. This is a standard procedure in the maintenance of measuring devices to ensure their accuracy and reliability without affecting their calibration status.

Adjustments aimed solely at maintaining a zero balance are typically considered routine and do not represent a change in the device’s measuring capabilities or accuracy. They are part of regular maintenance practices to keep the device functioning properly without the need for official notification. In contrast, adjustments that enhance accuracy, involve routine maintenance, or require documentation might require notification to ensure compliance with regulations and standards.
