88. The limits of error set out in the following table apply to all weights that are in multiples of the troy ounce:

TABLE

 SOR/89-570, s. 6(F).

89. A weight shall be used only with a weighing machine with which it is compatible.

90. When not in use, a weight that, due to its small size is not individually stamped with a mark of inspection shall be stored in a receptacle that bears the inspection mark.

SOR/93-234, s. 2(F).

91. In this Division, “measure” means a static volumetric measure for use in trade.

92. Measures shall be free from ridges or indentations likely to entrap dirt or the commodity measured and shall empty completely when inverted.

93. The internal horizontal dimensions of a measure for liquids shall be such that the removal from it of an amount equal to the limit of error in deficiency will lower the liquid level by not less than 2.4 mm or 3/32 inch or, if the measure is transparent, by not less than 1.2 mm or 3/4 inch.

SOR/89-570, s. 6(F).

94. Subject to section 95, a measure that is not transparent shall be so designed that its capacity is established by the brim and when a measure is equipped with a spout, pouring lip or anti-splash protection, not less than one third of the brim of the measure shall be in a plane parallel to the base.

95. When a measure is equipped with a lid or cover, the capacity of the measure shall be determined by the bottom of the neck unless a permanent defining line or indicator is provided on the neck.

96. Unless otherwise authorized by the Minister, all measures for solids shall be cylindrical, designed to be struck with a roller and be of a diameter that does not differ from either the depth or double the depth by more than five per cent.

97. A measure may be composed of any suitable material that

(a) has sufficient strength, rigidity and durability to maintain its form and accuracy and resist indentation, distortion or breakage under ordinary conditions of trade use; and

(b) is impervious to the commodity for which it is intended.

98. Unless clearly and permanently marked with the words “Calibrated to Contain” (“calibré pour recevoir”), a measure for liquids shall be of such capacity that, when filled to capacity with water, the indicated volume can be poured out of the measure.

99. When a measure that has an indicated volume set out in Column I of an item in a table to sections 101 to 103 is tested for acceptance limits of error in relation to a relevant local standard, the measure is within the acceptance limits of error if its actual volume determined by the test

(a) is not less than its indicated volume; and

(b) does not exceed its indicated volume by an amount in excess of the amount set out in Column II of that item.

SOR/89-570, s. 6(F).

100. When a measure that has an indicated volume set out in Column I of an item in a table to sections 101 to 103 is tested for in-service limits of error in relation to a relevant local standard, the measure is within the in-service limits of error if its actual volume determined by the test

(a) does not exceed its indicated volume by an amount in excess of the amount set out in Column III of that item; and

(b) is not less than its indicated volume by an amount in excess of the amount set out in Column IV of that item.

SOR/89-570, s. 6(F).

101. (1) Subject to subsection (3), the limits of error set out in the following table apply to all measures used for measuring liquids or solids in metric units of volume or capacity:

TABLE

(2) The limits of error in the table to subsection (1) apply to tests made on a “to deliver” basis with water at room temperature.

(3) The limits of error for measures used with grain testing scales are one-half the limits of error set out in the table to subsection (1).

SOR/89-570, s. 6(F).

102. (1) The limits of error set out in the following table apply to all measures used for measuring liquids in Canadian units of volume or capacity:

TABLE

(2) The limits of error in the table to subsection (1) apply to tests made on a “to deliver” basis with water at room temperature.

SOR/89-570, s. 6(F).

103. (1) Subject to subsection (3), the limits of error set out in the following table apply to all measures used for measuring solids in Canadian units of volume or capacity:

TABLE

(2) The limits of error in the table to subsection (1) apply to tests made on a “to deliver” basis with water at room temperature.

(3) The limits of error for measures used with grain testing scales are 1/4 the limits of error set out in the table to subsection (1).

SOR/89-570, s. 6(F).

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.

SOR/89-570, s. 6(F).
