(f) provision for adequate re-enforcement in any concrete work to resist any point loading in any direction to the satisfaction of a competent civil engineer.
(3) Where a platform machine or weighbridge is not provided with a tare beam the weight of any loose receptacle of frame used in conjunction with the instrument shall be accurately compensated for by means of a counter poise weight distinctive in shape from any of the ordinary counter poise weights
belonging to the instrument and such compensating weight shall have words " TARE WEIGHT"legibly and conspicuously stamped on its edge.
(4) The range of balance—
(a)in a platform machine, shall not exceed one-half percent of the capacity of the machine and shall be not less than one-eighthper cent of such capacity each way from the centre of travel of the ball; or
(b) in a weighbridge shall be double the range permitted in a platform machine.
(5) The travel of the steel yard each way from the horizontal position shall not be less than 10mm in both platform machine and weighbridge.
(6) A platform machine and a weighbridge shall be tested for accuracy in accordance with regulation 18 and also perform additional tests as required for electronic scales.
(7) The maximum permissible errors allowed shall be as indicated in Table 3 as read with Tables 5 and 6 of the First Schedule and errors in service shall be twice those applied on initial verification.
(8) The stamp of assizer shall be stamped upon a lead plug inserted in a conspicuous and easily accessible position on the instruments and the official date stamp shall be stamped upon the lead plug in the adjusting hole of any counter poise or tare weight.
(9) An assizer shall refuse to assize—

- 34. (1) A measure of volume of liquids for trade shall—
(a) be of a denomination specified in Table 10 of the First Schedule and have that denomination indelibly marked on the outside of the measure in figures or letters;
(b) be provided with sub-divisions having intervals corresponding to figures 1, 2, or 5 divided or multiplied by 10 as appropriate;
(c) be made of glass, aluminium, brass, bronze, copper, nickel, sheet iron, silver and steel including stainless steel tin plate, white metal or any approved material; Provided that for protection it may be anodised, electroplated, enamelled, galvanised, tinned or otherwise protected by an approved process;

(k) have no lip or retaining edge which increases its capacity by more than 10%;
(l) if it has no tap, drain completely when tilted to an angle of 30 below the horizontal;
(m) if provided with a tap shall drain completely without prolonged dribble when the tap is open and the measure is levelled;
(n) have its capacity marked on the upper part of its body or on a metal place permanently secured to that upper part;
(o) if it is made of glass, and has the capacity defined by a line, have the capacity indelibly marked near that line;
(p) have the capacity clearly defined in terms of regulations (2);
(q) if it is a graduated glass measure conform to regulation (3);
(r) have no greater error in excess or deficiency than the limit of error for its denomination or for the graduation concerned as specified in Table 10 and 13 of the First Schedule.

(c) glass measure not graduated by brim of measure; or indelible line (to mark

(b) have a level base at right angles to the axis of the measure; and
(c) have scale marks which are—

(ii) not less than 1.5 mm apart; and
(iii) in the case of back scale marks on the same horizontal plane as the front scale marks when the base of the measure is horizontal.
(4) An assizer shall inspect the measure of volume other than a laboratory measure made of glass—
(a) by filling it to the capacity with the liquid for which the measure is used; and
(b) by emptying those contents into a standard test measure having limits of error not exceeding those specified in table 10 of the First Schedule and a drainage time of 10 seconds observed.
(5) If it is used in a laboratory and conforms in shape, marking of denomination and limits of error to international standards, a measure made of glass or having a denomination below 50 ml shall not be subject to verification or stamping.
(6) If a measure of volume does not conform to this regulation, the assizer shall not pass it as correct during assizing.
(7) When the assizer passes a measure of volume as correct during assizing, the assizer shall stamp it:
(a) at the bottom of the inside of any lip or retaining edge of a metal measure; and
(b) in any other case near the marking of capacity - Reference of the measure
