The rule development includes updating and condensing Rule Chapters 5F-1, 5F-3, 5F-4, 5F-5, 5F-7, 5F-12 and 5F-13, F.A.C., into a single rule chapter, creating Chapter 5J-22, F.A.C. The intent is to repeal Rule Chapters 5F-1, 5F-3, 5F-4, 5F-5, 5F-7, 5F-12 and 5F-13, F.A.C., after the adoption of Chapter 5J-22, F.A.C. This rule development also includes updating the adopted versions of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbooks 44, 130 and 133; clarifying that weighing and measuring devices used in commerce in this state must have a certificate of conformance from the National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) under the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM); updating adopted ASTM International documents; updating the permitting section to reflect new devices now being used in the marketplace; updating the penalty sections; updating department form references and updating optional metrology lab fees.
