comprobar la precisión de la báscula


Explanation:
¿No será que "calibrar" implicaría ajustar la báscula?
Me parece que "validate with the check weight" significa que se debe comparar la lectura que da la báscula contra el peso nominal de la pesa de verificación (y luego se tiene que registrar esta lectura en la "Scale Validation Sheet").

validate
check or prove the validity or accuracy of: all analytical methods should be validated in respect of accuracy.

validar la báscula


Explanation:
Validation and calibration are two different processes. Calibration is usually part of the validation process, but the latter implies trial and recording of a process, procedure or method in order to ensure it produces the expected results in a consistent manner.

verifique la báscula


Explanation:
El proceso de "validar" una báscula con el uso de un "check" weight tiene como objetivo verificar o confirmar que dicha báscula aun continúa operando dentro de los límites y parámetros requeridos de precisión y exactitud. La "validación" en el sentido mas amplio implica el proceso de confirmar la validez del entero sistema, proceso, o método.

Alternamente: "verificar la báscula"

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 10 days (2016-02-13 17:43:15 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

La razón por la cual el descrito proceso no constituye una calibración en su pleno sentido es porque la "validación" efectuada antes de uso con un "check weight", se efectúa solo atravez de uno o dos puntos nominales en la capacidad de la báscula, mientras que una calibración que es oficialmente válida se efectúa a lo largo y alcance lineal de la capacidad entera de la báscula.
