These Regulations replace the Measuring Equipment (Liquid Fuel delivered from Road Tankers) Regulations 1979 as amended. They apply to all measuring equipment on road tankers (other than those used for the delivery of liquefied gas, lubricating or heated oil and for refuelling ships and aircraft) for use for trade in the making of any measurement of liquid fuel in a quantity exceeding 20 gallons or 100 litres. They make provision as to the principles of construction and marking of measuring equipment, its manner of use for trade, the inspection, testing, passing as fit for use for trade and stamping of such equipment (and obliteration of stamps on such equipment), and the prescribed limits of error. The Regulations prescribe this equipment for the purpose of section 11(1) of the Weights and Measures Act 1963 so that it will be unlawful to use it for trade purposes from 1st July 1984 unless it has been tested, passed as fit for such use and stamped by an inspector of weights and measures.
