These Regulations prescribe measures of length, which do not bear the mark of EEC initial verification, for the purposes of section 11(1) of the Weights and Measures Act 1985, so that it is unlawful to use such measures for trade purposes unless they have been tested, passed as fit for such use and stamped by an inspector of weights and measures. They replace the provisions of Part II of the Weights and Measures Regulations 1963, under which measures of length were formerly prescribed. Measures bearing the mark of EEC initial verification have to comply with the Measuring Instruments (EEC Requirements) Regulations 1980.
