Article 8 U.K.

1. Lots shall be placed in size categories in accordance with the scale set out in Annex II.

The net weight in kilograms shall be clearly and legibly marked on each lot. Where lots are put up for sale in standard boxes, the net weight need not be shown if the contents of the box are shown, when weighed before being put up for sale, to correspond to the presumed contents expressed in kilograms.
