2.—(1) In this Schedule—
“associated measuring instrument” means measuring equipment connected to the calculator for measuring certain quantities which are characteristic of the liquid fuel, with a view to make a correction and/or conversion;
“base conditions” means the specified conditions to which the measured quantity of liquid fuel at metering conditions is converted;
“calculator” means a part of a meter that receives the output signals from the measurement transducer(s) and possibly from associated measuring instruments and displays the measurement results;
“climatic environments” means the conditions in which meter measuring systems may be used;
“conversion device” means a part of the calculator which by taking account of the characteristics of the liquid fuel (e.g. temperature, density) measured using associated measuring instruments, or stored in a memory, automatically converts—
the volume of the liquid fuel measured at metering conditions into a volume at base conditions and/or into mass;
the mass of the liquid fuel measured at metering conditions into a volume at metering conditions and/or into a volume at base conditions,
and includes the relevant associated measuring instruments;
“critical change value” means the value at which the change in the measurement result is considered undesirable;
“direct indication” means the indication, either volume or mass, corresponding to the measure and that the meter is physically capable of measuring;

all the parties in the transaction accept the measurement result at that time and place;
“disturbance” means an influence quantity having a value within the limits specified in the appropriate requirement but outside the specified rated operating conditions of the instrument. An influence quantity is a disturbance if for that influence quantity the rated operating conditions are not specified;
“influence quantity” means a quantity that is not the measurand but that affects the result of measurement;
“interruptible” means the liquid fuel flow can be stopped easily and rapidly;
“measurand” means the particular quantity subject to measurement;
“Qmax” means the maximum flowrate;
“Qmin” means the minimum flowrate; and
“rated operating conditions” means the values for the measurand and influence quantities making up the normal working conditions of an instrument.
