PART VMachines Designated Class IIII
16. A machine which is—
(a)made in accordance with an approved pattern and which is or could be marked
, or
(b)first stamped before 1st August 1991 in accordance with the provisions for crane weighing machines constructed upon the hydraulic principle in the Weights and Measures Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1967, or
(c)of the type referred to as “approximate weighers” and first stamped before 1st August 1991, or
(d)of a type referred to as “common form” and which was first stamped before 1st August 1991,
