NotesN.I.
1. When a machine is provided with a rider its verification scale interval shall be the smaller of the following—
(i)the verification scale interval of the machine not taking into account the rider, or
(ii)the scale interval of the rider device.
Commencement Information
I3Sch. 1 Pt. III para. 1 in operation at 13.2.2006, see reg. 1(1)
2. When graduated self or semi-self indicating machines are provided with a device for interpolation of reading, this shall not be taken into account when determining the verification scale interval of the machine.
Commencement Information
I4Sch. 1 Pt. III para. 2 in operation at 13.2.2006, see reg. 1(1)
3. When graduated self or semi-self indicating machines are provided with an indicating device on which the last figure is clearly differentiated from the other figures, the verification scale interval shall correspond to the last but one figure of the indication.
Commencement Information
I5Sch. 1 Pt. III para. 3 in operation at 13.2.2006, see reg. 1(1)
4. Machines of a maximum capacity equal to or greater than 1 kg of an actual scale interval of 100 mg and of a verification scale interval of 1 g may belong to this class of machine, provided that the last figure is clearly differentiated from the other figures.
Commencement Information
I6Sch. 1 Pt. III para. 4 in operation at 13.2.2006, see reg. 1(1)
5. In the case of machines where the weight indicating or printing is in carat (metric) units or ounces troy the relevant capacity and verification scale interval shall be the amounts in carat (metric) or ounces troy respectively which are equivalent to those specified in the Table in terms of mg, g and kg.
Commencement Information
I7Sch. 1 Pt. III para. 5 in operation at 13.2.2006, see reg. 1(1)
6. Where the equivalent metric value for an ounce troy scale interval falls between ranges then the value shall be considered as belonging to the lower range.
