Purpose
The purpose of this rule is to amend Rule 5F-5.001, F.A.C., to adopt the most recent national standards for weighing and measuring devices developed by the National Conference on Weights and Measures and published in the 2006 edition of National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook 44. 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.
