A safety factor ensures reliable results. It accounts for changing external influences such as vibrations, drafts, operators, etc. For normal, stable conditions, METTLER TOLEDO recommends a safety factor of at least 2 for laboratory and 3 for industrial environments. For unstable weighing conditions (e.g. a fume hood or harsh production environment) a higher safety factor should be applied.
