From experience in the weighing field, I'm sure this term refers to the fact that a scale can be used for trade purposes. In order to do this, it must be trade-approved, or approved by the local Weights and Measures authority.
Hope this helps!

gaugable ; with adjustable gauge
I think "eichfähig" means that it can meet different weighing standards, perhaps of different countries.
Hope it can get you on the right track!
