Fault greater than the load cell verification interval, v. The following are not considered significant faults, even when they exceed the load cell verification interval, v: • faults arising from simultaneous and mutually independent causes; • faults implying the impossibility to perform any measurements; • faults being so serious that they are bound to be noticed by all interested in the result of measurement; and • transitory faults being momentary variations in the load cell output which cannot be interpreted, memorized or transmitted as a measurement result
