(a)in relation to the passing of any such measure as fit for use for trade, the appropriate amount specified in paragraph 2 or 3, as the case may be, of this Part of this Schedule;
(b)in relation to the obliteration of the stamp on any such measure, an amount equal to four times the appropriate amount specified in paragraph 2 or 3, as the case may be, of this Part of this Schedule.

1. Subject to paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Part of this Schedule, the prescribed limits of error for weighing instruments shall be those specified in Parts II to XI of this Schedule:
2. In the case of any weighing instrument which weighs in units of the metric system and for which no limits of error are specified in terms of those units, the prescribed limits of error shall be the amounts in terms of metric units equivalent to those specified in terms of imperial units in the relevant Part of this Schedule with respect to an instrument of the same capacity, type, class or description.
3. In the case of any weighing instrument of the self-indicating or semi-self-indicating type, the prescribed limit of error, in excess or in deficiency, shall be either—
(a)the appropriate amount specified in the relevant Part of this Schedule for the instrument concerned, or
(b)the amount corresponding to one half of the smallest interval between consecutive graduations on the scale or dial of the instrument,
whichever is the less.
