WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
These Regulations prescribe measures of length, which do not bear the mark of EEC initial verification, for the purposes of Article 9(1) of the Weights and Measures (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, 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. The Regulations revoke those provisions of the Weights and Measures Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1967 relating to measures of length, such measures formerly being prescribed under Regulation 3 of those Regulations. Measures bearing the mark of EEC initial verification have to comply with the Measuring Instruments (EEC Requirements) Regulations 1980 (as amended).
