Notes:

  • Class F2 is equal to Measurement Canada's Precious Metal Weight Kits.
  • Class M1 is equal to Measurement Canada's Inspector's Weight Kits.
  • n is the maximum number of scale intervals which can be verified on the indicated device type, with the indicated accuracy class standard.

Revision

Rev.1: Suspend restriction on Class II devices inspected with Precious Metal Weight Kits (OIML Class F2 weights)

Footnotes

Footnote 1

This section is under review. Until further notice, Precious Metal Weights (OIML F2) are suitable for inspection of all Class II devices.
