When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
EU Directives are published on this site to aid cross referencing from UK legislation. Since IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.) no amendments have been applied to this version.
This Annex lays down the procedures for the statistical checking of measuring container bottles in order to meet the requirements of Article 2 of the Directive and of Section 6 of Annex I.
A sample of measuring container bottles of the same design and the same manufacture shall be drawn from a batch corresponding, in principle, to an hour's production.
If the result of the check on a batch corresponding to an hour's production is not satisfactory, a second test can be carried out, based either on another sample from a batch corresponding to a longer period of production or, where production has been subject to a check recognized by the competent departments of the Member State, on the results recorded on the manufacturers' check-cards.
The number of measuring container bottles constituting the sample shall be 35 or 40, depending on which of the two methods of applying the results, detailed in Section 3 below, has been chosen by each Member State.
The measuring container bottles shall be weighed empty.
They shall be filled with water at 20oC of a know density, up to the filling level appropriate to the method of checking used.
They shall then be weighed in full.
The check shall be carried out by means of a legal measuring instrument, suitable for effecting the necessary operations.
Error in measuring the capacity shall not be great er than one-fifth of the maximum permissible error corresponding to the nominal capacity of the measuring container bottle.
The number of measuring container bottles in the sample is 35.
The upper limit Ts: the sum of the indicated capacity (see Annex I, Section 8) and of the maximum permissible error corresponding to this capacity.
The lower limit Ti: the difference between the indicated capacity (see Annex I, Section 8) and the maximum permissible error corresponding to this capacity.
The batch shall be declared to comply with the Directive if the numbers and s verify simultaneously the following three inequations:
=
1·57
=
0·266
Calculate as follows:
the sum of the 35 actual capacity measurements x = Σxi
the sum of the squares of the 35 measurements Σxi 2
Hence the estimated standard deviation:
The number of measuring container bottles in the sample is 40.
the upper limit Ts the sum of the indicated capacity (see Annex I, Section 8) and the maximum permissible error corresponding to this capacity,
the lower limit Ti:
difference between the indicated capacity (see Annex I, Section 8) and the maximum permissible error corresponding to this capacity.
The batch shall be declared to comply with the Directive if the numbers and verify simultaneously the following three inequations:
=
0·668,
=
0·628.
Divide the sample, in chronological order of selection, into eight sub-samples of five measuring container bottles each.
Calculate as follows:
the range of each of the sub-samples, i.e. the difference between the actual capacity of the largest and the smallest of the five bottles in the sub-sample; eight ranges are thus obtained: R1; R2; ... R8
the sum of the ranges of the eight sub-samples:

This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force.
