Weights and Measures (Exemptions) Regulations 1997
Delegated Legislation Joint Committee (1987 - 2001)· 27 November 1997general_report
The Delegated Legislation Joint Committee reviewed the Weights and Measures (Exemptions) Regulations 1997, focusing on whether Regulation 5 was ultra vires the Weights and Measures Act 1915. The committee was concerned that the Act didn't explicitly authorise exemptions from restamping requirements after repairs or relocation, potentially placing operators in breach of the Act.
Impact
Businesses using weighing and measuring instruments are affected, particularly those relying on exemptions under Regulation 5. Third parties contracting with these businesses may also be affected due to potential liability issues arising from non-compliance with the Act.
