which could, in the opinion of the inspector, have affected its accuracy or function; and
where the chief inspector of weights and measures for the area where the filling instrument is located has been furnished in writing with details of that adjustment, alteration, addition, repair or replacement;
is in use for trade for a particular purpose and–
which does not meet the requirements of Schedule 2 in respect of minimum or maximum capacity; or
for which purpose, in the opinion of the inspector, it is otherwise unsuitable; or

are likely prematurely to degrade the metrological characteristics of the filling instrument.
