“scale interval means, in relation to a weighing or measuring instrument,—

• “(a) in analogue indication, the difference between the values corresponding to 2 consecutive scale marks:

• “(b) in digital indication, the difference between 2 consecutive indicated values”.

• “(1A) For the purpose of deciding under subclause (1) whether a type of weight, measure, or weighing or measuring instrument is suitable for use for trade and will not facilitate fraud, the Secretary may have regard to the International Recommendations of the O.I.M.L.”

• “(1A) For the purpose of deciding under subclause (1) whether a type of weight, measure, or weighing or measuring instrument is not suitable for use for trade or will facilitate fraud, the Secretary may have regard to the International Recommendations of the O.I.M.L.”

• “(c) details of every conviction (if any) under the Act or these regulations of the applicant and, where the applicant is not a natural person, of every natural person whom the applicant proposes will exercise or perform the powers, duties, and functions of an accredited person on behalf of the applicant, including—

  • “(i) the offence of which the person was convicted; and

  • “(ii) the date and place of the conviction; and

  • “(iii) the penalty imposed.”

• “(2) The weights must be classified into 1 of the following accuracy classes:

  • “(a) class M1 for weights intended to be used with class II weighing instruments:

  • “(b) class M1–2 for weights intended to be used with class III weighing instruments:

  • “(c) class M2 for weights intended to be used with class III weighing instruments:

  • “(d) class M2–3 for weights intended to be used with class III and class IIII weighing instruments:

  • “(e) class M3 for weights intended to be used with class III and class IIII weighing instruments.

• “(3) A weight, other than the weights specified in subclauses (4) and (5), must be marked as follows:

  • “(a) class M1 weights must be marked with their nominal value and with the sign M1 or the sign M:

  • “(b) class M1–2 weights must be marked with their nominal value and with the sign M1–2:

  • “(c) class M2 weights must be marked with their nominal value (and may be marked with the sign M2):

  • “(d) class M2–3 weights must be marked with their nominal value and with the sign M2–3:

  • “(e) class M3 weights must be marked with their nominal value and with the sign M3 or the sign X.”

• “(2) Despite subclause (1), the scale interval used for the verification of weighing instruments with auxiliary indicating devices and which are classified as class I or class II weighing instruments must be determined in accordance with both the following formulas:

  e is more than d but not more than 10d
  e = 10^k kg

  where—

  e

  is the verification scale interval

  d

  is the actual scale interval on the weighing instrument being verified

  k

  is a whole number, whether positive, negative, or zero.

“76 Leather measuring instruments

• The maximum amount of error, in excess or deficiency, permitted—

  • “(a) on the verification of a leather measuring instrument is 1% of the measured area; and

  • “(b) on the inspection of a leather measuring instrument is 2% of the measured area.”

• “(2) An accredited person who adopts a document (the ISO QMS document) containing a quality management system approved by the International Organization for Standardization and operates that system throughout the person's operations is to be treated, for the purposes of this schedule, as complying with any requirement in this schedule to define or outline matters in a written document if the matters are contained in the ISO QMS document.”
