# The Weighing Equipment (Automatic Rail-weighbridges) Regulations 2003, Regulation 12: Obliteration of stamps


(1) Subject to paragraph (2), an inspector shall obliterate the stamp on any automatic rail-weighbridge which—
(a) on testing in accordance with clause 5.3 (in-service inspection) of Part 1 of OIML R 106 fails to fall within the prescribed limits of error in relation to obliteration of the stamp; or
(b) fails to comply with any other appropriate requirement of these Regulations.
(2) Except as provided by regulation 13, where any automatic rail-weighbridge does not fully comply with the requirements of these Regulations, but the nature or degree of the non-compliance is not, in the inspector’s opinion, such as to require the immediate obliteration of the stamp, he shall give to the proprietor or any person in control of that weighbridge a notice calling on him to have the weighbridge corrected within a stated period not exceeding 28 days, and shall obliterate the stamp if the correction has not been made within the stated period.
