Paragraph 2.1 F1
The following accuracy classes have been defined—
(a)
I special
(b)
II high
(c)
III medium
(d)
IIII ordinary
The specifications of these classes are given in Table 1.
Table 1
| Accuracy classes | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class | Verification scale interval (e) | Minimum capacity (Min) | Number of verification scale intervals n = ((Max)/(e)) | |
| minimum value | minimum value | maximum value | ||
| I | 0,001 g ≤ e | 100 e | 50 000 | |
| II | 0,001 g ≤ e ≤ 0,05 g | 20 e | 100 | 100 000 |
| 0,1 g ≤ e | 50 e | 5 000 | 100 000 | |
| III | 0,1 g ≤ e ≤ 2 g | 20 e | 100 | 10 000 |
| 5 g ≤ e | 20 e | 500 | 10 000 | |
| IIII | 5 g ≤ e | 10 e | 100 | 1 000 |
The minimum capacity is reduced to 5 e for instruments in classes II and III for determining a conveying tariff.
