The gimmick here is what exactly to take for a "reputable manufacturer" of (weights and) scales and what would be the acceptable scale to weigh and confirm weight. What accuracy is allowed in weighing? The same weight measured by 2 or 3 scales of the same reputed manufacturer can vary. Then what? As we do, we check the magnetizing power to detect certain depth defects in a mock up; while the stated ASME rulings are observed as a routine guideline. Even a coil's performance depends a lot on how it is stored, one year is a long enough time when it can deteriorate and won't be as functional as in the beginning. Just some cautious soundings............

The following is the text of ASME Section V , Article 7 T-762 Lifting Power of Yokes
(a) Prior to use, the magnetizing power of electromagnetic
yokes shall have been checked within the past year.
The magnetizing power of permanent magnetic yokes shall
be checked daily prior to use. The magnetizing power of
all yokes shall be checked whenever the yoke has been
damaged or repaired.
(b) Each alternating current electromagnetic yoke shall
have a lifting power of at least 10 lb (4.5 kg) at the maximum
pole spacing that will be used.
(c) Each direct current or permanent magnetic yoke
shall have a lifting power of at least 40 lb (18 kg) at the
maximum pole spacing that will be used.
(d) Each weight shall be weighed with a scale from a
reputable manufacturer and stenciled with the applicable
nominal weight prior to first use. A weight need only be
verified again if damaged in a manner that could have
caused potential loss of material.
Hence, No need for a third party certificate for the calibration and it OK if it has the manufactures certificate showing the weight lifting capacity and other test results

Does that should hold a Valid calibration certificate by the Third party calibration body or is that ok it has the manufactures certificate showing the weight lifting capacity and other test results.
