What to look at for this product

If your digital kitchen scale can weigh while plugged into power, ask for the supplier's declaration covering the scale and its electronic weighing controls.

If your scale has battery powered digital circuitry, ask its highest operating frequency when checking whether the weighing electronics qualify for the battery exemption.

If your scale isn't exempt from emissions authorization, request the digital emissions test evidence identifying the weighing electronics and controls inside its base.

If your scale needs FCC labeling, request the statement artwork prepared for the finished scale and check that it covers the digital weighing electronics.

If your scale will sell in California, request material details for plastic housings and the weighing platform to assess chemical warnings.

If your scale needs a supplier declaration, identify the US business responsible for its digital weighing electronics and obtain that business's contact information.
