(b) capable of containing lead to a weight not exceeding one per cent of the capacity of the machine.

(b) with a weight or weights equal to 1/3 of maximum capacity of the machine placed on the goods pan any where within a distance from the centre equal to 1/3 the greatest length of the pan or, if the pan has a vertical side, against the middle of that side and a similar weight placed in any position on the weights pan, and the machine shall indicate the same weight within half the limit of error specified in Tables 3, 5 and 6
of the Third Schedule;
(c) at capacity, with the weights placed centrally on each pan, unless the goods pan is in the form of a scoop in which case half the total weight shall be placed against the middle of the back of the scoop and the other half in any position on the scoop: Provided that the sensitiveness and discrimination errors shall be the maximum permissible errors specified in Tables 3, 5 and6 of the First Schedule.
(6) The stamp of assize shall be stamped upon a lead plug inserted in a conspicuous and easily accessible part of the beam: Provided that in the case of an enclosed beranger, it may be stamped upon the housing or upon a lead plug inserted therein - Reference of the measure
