5.2.1  Weighing equipment. The scales used to establish the weight of an aircraft entering a competition, shall have an accuracy of not less than 0,2% when weighing up to 472.5 kg. The calibration of the scales shall have taken place within a year from the date of the weighing. All scales used shall carry a certificate indicating weighing accuracy and the time of the latest calibration of the scales.

In the near future we probably have to weigh microlight aircrafts with a weight of up to 600 kg.
