True or False: Acceptance tolerance applies when a scale has been overhauled.

Acceptance tolerance refers to the limits within which the scale's accuracy must fall when it is being verified for its intended use. When a scale has been overhauled, it typically means that it has undergone repair, maintenance, or adjustment to restore its function. At this stage, the focus is on ensuring the scale is performing accurately in accordance with established standards.

Overhauling a scale can affect its precision and functionality, which means that the acceptance tolerance for that specific device does not automatically apply until comprehensive testing and calibration are carried out post-overhaul. In essence, the scale must meet the applicable standards and tolerances again after maintenance work before it can be put back into operation.

Thus, stating that acceptance tolerance applies without any further verification or testing following an overhaul is misleading. The scale must be fully re-evaluated to ensure that it adheres to the required tolerances, making the assertion false.
