| Regulation 3 |
| Weighing or measuring instruments to which section 7 of Act applies |
| 1. Automatic checkweigher instrument (checkweigher), namely, an instrument that weighs without the intervention of an operator and follows a pre-determined programme of automatic processes that subdivide articles (i.e. objects) of different mass (which varies on either side of a pre-determined value called the nominal mass) into 2 or more sub-groups according to the value of the difference between their mass and the nominal set point. |
| 2. Automatic catchweigher instrument (catchweigher), namely, an automatic weighing instrument that weighs pre-assembled discrete loads or single loads of loose material. |
| 3. Automatic rail weighbridge, namely, an instrument that weighs without the intervention of an operator and follows a pre-determined programme of automatic processes that are used to determine the mass of railway wagons (having a load receptor inclusive of rails) when they are weighed in motion. |
| 4. Direct mass flow instrument for quantities of liquids, namely, a measuring instrument that determines the mass of a quantity of flowing liquid without the use of any auxiliary device or data on the physical properties of the liquid. |
| 5. Discontinuous totalising automatic weighing instrument (totalising hopper weighers), namely, an automatic weighing instrument that weighs a bulk product by dividing it into discrete loads, determining the mass of each discrete load in sequence, summing the weighing results and delivering the discrete loads to bulk. |
| 6. Material measure of length for general use (length measures), namely, a material measure provided with scale marks, the distance between which are indicated in legal units of length. |
| 7. Length measuring instrument, namely, a length measuring instrument (other than a length measure) which determine the length of a line, wire, cable, tape, piece of cloth, strip, sheet or any other developable piece. |
| 8. Measuring system for liquids other than water, namely, a dynamic measuring system (which comprises the meter itself, and all the ancillary devices and additional devices) for quantities of liquids other than water subject to legal metrology controls. |
| 9. Non-automatic weighing instrument, namely, an instrument that requires the intervention of an operator during the weighing process, for example to deposit on or remove from the receptor the load to be measured and permits direct observation of the weighing results either displayed or printed. |
