15 Responsibilities of administering authority concerning verification and re-verification

(1) It is the responsibility of the administering authority:

(a) to provide the means by which measuring instruments may be verified, and

(b) to arrange for the re-verification of measuring instruments that are in use for trade.

(2) Arrangements under subsection (1) (b) must provide for the re-verification of a measuring instrument as often as the administering authority determines is necessary or desirable in relation to the class of measuring instrument concerned but need not be made in any cases or circumstances for which the regulations provide re-verification is not required.

(3) This section does not affect the power of the administering authority to charge amounts in accordance with the regulations for or in connection with the verification and re-verification of measuring instruments.

(4) Even if a measuring instrument is not required by this Act to bear an inspector’s mark or a licensee’s mark, it may be examined and its calibration tested as if there were such a requirement but only:

(a) for the purposes of another Act, or

(b) if the administering authority so approves, at the request of the person in possession of the measuring instrument.
