# The Measuring Instruments Regulations 2016, Regulation 65: Compliant regulated measuring instruments which present a risk

Extent: E+W+S

(1) This regulation applies where, having carried out an evaluation under regulation 63, the market surveillance authority finds that although a regulated measuring instrument is in compliance with the requirements of these Regulations, it presents a risk on grounds of public interest, public health, public safety, public order, protection of the environment, protection of consumers, the levying of taxes and duties or fair trading.
(2) Where this regulation applies, the market surveillance authority must issue a direction requiring the economic operator to—
(a) take all appropriate measures to ensure that the regulated measuring instrument concerned, when placed on the market, no longer presents that risk;
(b) withdraw the regulated measuring instrument from the market; or
(c) recall it within a reasonable period, commensurate with the nature of the risk as it may prescribe.
