Can this scale's calibration be corrected if needed?

Yes but you'll need a 100 g weight. You can d/l the PDF manual from the mfr's website to see what class wt. is needed and the simple procedure to do it

According to the User Manual, the scale can be calibrated. We have tried the feature, just for fun, and by using a 100 g. weight, it gets calibrated automatically. Simple to follow instructions.

As with most mechanical scales, it would be more accurate consistently if it were on a level surface. However, if you are OK with the inaccuracy of a scale on an uneven surface, than it should be fine.

Mine was pretty well calibrated (within .02g for the 500g weight). It really depends on how accurate you want it to be. It is not "self calibrating". A set of calibration weights will help keep your scale as accurate as it can be.

I don't know the answer to your question, and I'm sorry to hear of your troubles with this product. But one of the reasons I choose to purchase this scale was because the other feedback talked about how responsive the manufacturer is to any issues customers have had. Have you contacted them? I would hope they would resolve this with you and replace the scale. Whatever they do, I hope you post their response on the reviews for this product. Good luck!

Hi Christa, To calibrate the scale: Press "MODE" and "ON/OFF" at the same time to turn on the scale and release the keys until the LCD shows ISN. When ISN is stable, press "ON/OFF", the LCD will show "30lb". Then put a 30 lb weight set unto the scale and press "ON/OFF" again. LCD shows "PASS", the calibration is finished.

The scale calibrates when it turns on. Just turn it off, and then turn it back on again and you should be set. Also, contact Ozeri if you still need the instruction manual.

I don't recommend M. Gonzalez' solution. I calibrated to 1000g. My 500g weight then says 667g. Calibration is not linear.

We have been using the scale 4 months, we have not calibrated it. We used it right out of the box, just make sure to use, on a level flat surface.

Not that I know of. I was able to return this scale. It's the worst one 've ever owned. It wasn't accurate at all after a couple of months.

I have had no problem with it. I would try recalibrating one more time and if that does not work, call the manufacturer. I saw where many people who did previous reviews called the manufacturer, and received excellent results. As an aside, I use this scale and it as accurate as the physicians.

I didn't need to calibrate. I did test it on 3 items that I knew the exact weight of and it was right on each time.

I don't believe the machine can be calibrated, at least I haven't noticed an option. Also the readings are not always consistent if you take a few back to back. Have others noticed this?

I can't say for certain if a scale such as this can be certified. It has no adjustment that I'm aware of so if it needed to be calibrated, I don't know how it could be achieved. If I were you, I would search online for companies that do this type of certification service and inquire with them directly.

Thank you for your message John. I would like to direct you to Health-O-Meter to answer your question regarding the calibration process. Their Tech Support division can be reached at 800-638-3722. They can assist you regarding any questions you may have on recalibration. The scale can be used on carpet, but I would recommend placing something underneath the scale to stabilize it like a piece of plywood. Please let me know if you need any additional assistance. Thank you very much!

I am unsure. I purchase a scale, had it sent to my mother in another state and none of my relatives could get it to work. We ended up returning the scale.

I wish I could sincerely answer your question. This device has not been the best so far. Constant calibration and off results. I would suggest investing a little bit more money on a better scale.
