Use of Measures
104 A measure shall rest on a level surface when the correctness of filling is being determined by the user.
105 Measures shall be used in a manner that will prevent dents or other damage thereto that would cause a change in capacity.
106 Measures for liquids shall be permitted to drain for sufficient time to ensure that the liquid delivered is not less than the indicated volume by more than the limits of error set out in Column IV of the tables to sections 101 to 103.

DIVISION VWeighing and Measuring Machines in General
Interpretation
120 In this Division,
- machine
machine means a weighing machine or measuring machine for use in trade, other than one referred to in the Specifications Relating to Non-Automatic Weighing Devices (1998); (appareil)
- registration
registration includes both visual indication and recorded representation of quantity, unit price or monetary value. (enregistrement)
- SOR/98-115, s. 7
- SOR/2005–130, s. 7
Design, Composition and Construction
121 A machine shall be of a design, composition and construction that will enable it to resist such exposure to vibration, the product measured, foreign matter, dirt, moisture and extremes of temperature as may be encountered in its intended service, so that wear of its moving components will be minimized, its accuracy will be maintained, its operating parts will continue to function properly and its means of adjustment will retain their settings.
122 and 123 [Repealed, SOR/98-115, s. 8]
124 Any electrical or electronic components, equipment or accessories attached to or used in conjunction with a machine that have or can have an effect on the accuracy of the machine shall function properly despite such steady-state and transient variations in the frequency, voltage and waveform of the electrical supply and disturbances in the surrounding electromagnetic and electrostatic field as may normally exist in the intended service.
125 When a machine requires an electrical power supply, the frequency, voltage and current requirements and any special limitations on the stability or quality of power supply required to enable the machine to measure accurately shall be marked on the machine.
126 A machine shall be provided with means of registration that are appropriate for the class, type or design of machine and for its intended service, installation and use.
