Purpose


The purpose of Rule 5F-3.001, F.A.C., is to amend it to adopt the most recent national standards for packaging and labeling requirements as adopted by the National Conference on Weights and Measures and published in 2006 edition of National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook 130. Adoption of the current national standards will make Florida’s requirements uniform with the national requirements and facilitate interstate commerce and trade. Some rewording has also been done to promote editorial uniformity among the Bureau rules in Chapters 5F-3, 5, 7, and 12, F.A.C. This does not cause any change in the content.
