(1) The requirements for verification or certification of a measuring instrument are as follows:

(a) the instrument must operate within the appropriate limits of error that may be tolerated under the National Measurement Act at verification,

(b) the instrument must be of an approved pattern, and

(c) the instrument must have no graduations in a unit of measurement other than a unit of measurement under the metric system of measurement within the meaning of the National Measurement Act (except in circumstances that are prescribed as exempt from this paragraph or in a case determined by the administering authority to be a special case).

(2) The requirements for re-verification of a measuring instrument are the same as for verification under subsection (1) except that the instrument need not operate within the appropriate limits of error that may be tolerated under the National Measurement Act at verification but must operate within the appropriate limits of error that may be tolerated under that Act at re-verification.
