ANNEX X U.K. MATERIAL MEASURES (MI-008)

CHAPTER II U.K. Capacity serving measures

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS U.K.

1. Reference Conditions U.K.

1.1. Temperature: the reference temperature for measurement of capacity is 20 °C. U.K.

1.2. Position for correct indication: free standing on a level surface. U.K.

2. MPEs U.K.

Table 1

	Line	Brim
Transfer measures
< 100 ml	± 2 ml	– 0 + 4 ml
≥ 100 ml	± 3 %	– 0 + 6 %
Serving measures
< 200 ml	± 5 %	– 0 + 10 %
≥ 200 ml	± (5 ml + 2,5 %)	– 0 + 10 ml + 5 %

3. Materials U.K.

Capacity serving measures shall be made of material which is sufficiently rigid and dimensionally stable to maintain capacity within the MPE.

4. Shape U.K.

4.1. Transfer measures shall be designed so that a change of contents equal to the MPE causes a change in level of at least 2 mm at the brim or filling mark. U.K.

4.2. Transfer measures shall be designed so that the complete discharge of the liquid being measured will not be impeded. U.K.

5. Marking U.K.

5.1. The nominal capacity declared shall be clearly and indelibly marked on the measure. U.K.

5.2. Capacity serving measures may also be marked with up to three clearly distinguishable capacities, none of which shall lead to confusion one to the other. U.K.

5.3. All filling marks shall be sufficiently clear and durable to ensure that MPEs are not exceeded in use. U.K.
