Assuming you mean "How do you calibrate an electronic scale?", since most electronic scales are based on strain gauges, the operating system usually generates its own zero status at the start of the measurement. And the assumption is then made that the original calibration of the gauge is still correct. Which it probably is.

If you do wish to calibrate your scale, then you purchase some standard weights (strictly masses) and have these calibrated by one of the labs that provide traceability to the national standards. You may then calibrate your scale at several weight points against your calibration masses.

The accuracy of electronic scales depends partially on the model and price of the scale. A properly calibrated, averagely priced model, for example, should be capable of accuracy up to the tenth or hundredth of a pound.
