a) They must have been calibrated and remain within their legal usage period;
b) Have a measurement range appropriate for the weight or volume being inspected;
c) Scales must have an accuracy corresponding to the provisions in Table 3 below:
Table 3

Up to 0.5 Over 0.5 to 5 Above 5 to 10 Over 10 |
1 5 10 20 |
d) Measuring containers must have an accuracy from 0.1% to 0.5%.
3.3 Inspection Procedure and Content:
3.3.1 Inspection of the Seller's Measuring Instruments
a) Inspection of the legality of the measuring instruments: seals, calibrationcertificates, tamper-evident seals, lead seals, validity period of calibration...
b) Inspection of the operation of the measuring instruments:
For scales: The scale must be properly positioned, all components must functionnormally, the initial indication must be at zero; after lightly pressing thescale, the indication must return to zero (perform three times).
For measuring containers: The measuring container must not be deformed, bent,or altered in shape or contain residual goods affecting its capacity.
3.3.2 Inspection of the Seller's Weighing and Measuring Operations
a) For goods that have been weighed or measured previously: Take no fewer than tenrandom packages, perform weighing or measuring on the inspection equipment. Theinspection results compared to the seller's previous weighing or measuringquantities must not exceed the permitted shortage limits specified in Tables 1 or2 of these regulations.

Ifone or two results do not meet the requirements, a second sample should be takenand rechecked. If the second check still has one result that does not meet therequirements, the overall conclusion will be that the requirements are not met.
b) For direct weighing or measuring: Require the seller to perform weighing ormeasuring of at least three different quantities of goods; the inspector performsrechecking on the inspection equipment. If one result does not meet therequirements, the inspection should be repeated. If this inspection still has oneresult that does not meet the requirements, it is concluded that the seller'sweighing or measuring operations do not meet the required standards.
