-If the answer is no, and there is no other evidence to the contrary, this should be a Major nonconformance because we must assume that there is a high degree of probability that product quality (or quantity) has been affected. However, if the auditee has appropriate test weights (mass) providing an acceptable calibration accuracy ratio, and can verify that the weighing scale is in-tolerance during the audit, then this can be graded as a Minor Nonconformity.+If the answer is no, and there is no other evidence to the contrary, this should be a Major nonconformance because we must assume that there is a high degree of probability that product quality (or quantity) has been affected. However, if the auditee has appropriate test weights (mass) providing an acceptable calibration accuracy ratio, and can verify that the weighing scale is in-tolerance during the audit, then this can be graded as a Minor Nonconformity (for not having a record of calibration AFTER the weighing scale was re-located).
  
 The basis for this nonconformity is found in [[https://www.euramet.org/Media/docs/Publications/calguides/I-CAL-GUI-018_Calibration_Guide_No._18_web.pdf|EURAMET Calibration Guide No. 18 (Version 4.0 (11/2015))]], page 5, which states:  The basis for this nonconformity is found in [[https://www.euramet.org/Media/docs/Publications/calguides/I-CAL-GUI-018_Calibration_Guide_No._18_web.pdf|EURAMET Calibration Guide No. 18 (Version 4.0 (11/2015))]], page 5, which states:
