Strictly speaking, the answer is no. However, when using the load cell, the uncertainty of the signal conditioning cabling and the display unit needs to be determined and added to that of the load cell.

In addition, the signal conditioning/display unit needs to be within its annual calibration. It is for these reasons that the signal conditioning/display unit is often included in the calibration of the load cells, as it determines the uncertainty of the load cell and signal conditioning unit combined and ensures that the signal conditioning unit gets its annual or biannual calibration.
