the whole of legal metrology activities
Notes
Note Legal metrological control includes
• legal control of measuring instruments,
• all the operations for the purpose of examining and demonstrating, e.g. to testify in a court of law, the condition of a measuring instrument and to determine its metrological properties, amongst others by reference to the relevant statutory requirements.
