The Measuring Equipment (Liquid Fuel and Lubricants) Regulations 1995

Deemed obliteration of stamps

24.—(1) For the purposes of these Regulations, the obliteration, destruction or defacement of any one stamp on any measuring equipment shall be deemed to be the obliteration of all other stamps on that equipment, except—

(a) where—

(i) a stamp on any part of any measuring equipment is obliterated by reason only of the failure of that part to comply with all the appropriate requirements of these Regulations; and

(ii) that failure does not have the effect of causing other parts of the equipment to fail to comply with those requirements; or

(b) where the stamp has been lawfully obliterated under regulation 25 or 26 below.

(2) Where the inspector has obliterated a stamp on any measuring equipment, he may attach to the equipment a notice indicating that the equipment or, in a case to which paragraph (1)(a) above applies, the part of it in question is out of order.
