These scales are ordinarily of the computing type, that are rated
250 volts or less. These scales consist of an attachment plug, a
length of flexible cord, a switch, one or more lamps, lampholders,
ballasts if electric-discharge lamps are used, and associated
internal wiring. They are intended to be used in accordance with
the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
These requirements do not cover scales involving electronic
computing features or electrical features such as motor-operated

In this standard, portable equipment is defined as equipment
that can be easily moved from one place to another in normal
