The relevant essential requirements of Annex I, and the specific requirements and the conformity assessment procedures listed in this chapter, apply to capacity serving measures defined below. However, the requirement for the supply of a copy of declarations of conformity may be interpreted as applying to a batch or consignment rather than each individual instrument. Also, the requirement for the instrument to bear information in respect of its accuracy shall not apply.
Capacity serving measure | A capacity measure (such as a drinking glass, jug or thimble measure) designed to determine a specified volume of a liquid (other than a pharmaceutical product) which is sold for immediate consumption. |
Line measure | A capacity serving measure marked with a line to indicate nominal capacity. |
Brim measure | A capacity serving measure for which the internal volume is equal to the nominal capacity. |
Transfer measure | A capacity serving measure from which it is intended that the liquid is decanted prior to consumption. |
Capacity | The capacity is the internal volume for brim measures or internal volume to a filling mark for line measures. |
Line | Brim | |
