of one litre or less is indicated, the limit of error allowed is 0.3 percent of the quantity purported to be delivered in excess or 0.15% deficiency.
(8) The stamp of assizer shall be stamped upon a lead plug inserted in a conspicuous and easily accessible part of the pump. A seal of assize shall be affixed where necessary to prevent access to working parts or adjusting devices without the seal being broken.
(9) In this regulation—" price indicator " means an indicator showing the value in money for the liquid fuel or oil delivered; and " volume indicator " means an indicator showing the volume of liquid fuel or oil delivery - Reference of the measure
