Why the Whoa? Just giving my .02c.
The correct use is to either have it calibrated regularly or use a set of calibrated weights before use. If the downside of inaccurate weighing is expensive in time and materials then maybe more money should be put into the balance or the weights to check it before use. Mettler/Toledo and Ohaus make nice balances and scales.

and as a helpful hint, not a slam, use the term electronic balance or scale in your article in place of electronic weight. It will make more sense.

No slings or arrows intended.

Just info. from a former metrologist.
