Verification of physical quantity of artefacts
34C Verification of physical quantity of artefacts
On application under regulation 34B, the verifying authority:
may verify a physical quantity of the artefact; and
if the physical quantity of the artefact is verified:
must issue a certificate of verification to the applicant; and
may issue a copy of the certificate to anyone else the authority considers should be given a copy.
The certificate of verification of a physical quantity of an artefact must state:
the name and address of the verifying authority; and
the date of the verification; and
the result of the verification ascertained on the day of verification; and
the accuracy with which the physical quantity of the artefact is verified; and
the value (stating the uncertainty) of any relevant environmental or other influence factors, such as temperature or pressure, at the time of the verification; and
a description of:
any mark on, or attached to, the artefact; or
a sealed container attached to the artefact.
For paragraph (2)(d), the accuracy of a verification of a physical quantity of an artefact is to be ascertained and expressed in a manner determined in writing by the Chief Metrologist.
The verifying authority must not verify a physical quantity of an artefact unless the artefact bears an identifying mark.
