(1) For the purposes of this Act, the Minister may make regulations with respect to-
(a) the materials and principle of construction of weighing or measuring equipment for use for trade;
(b) the requirements for the inspection, verification and stamping or marking of weight, measure, weighing or measuring instruments;
(c) the circumstances and the manner in which and the condition under which stamps may be obliterated or defaced, and any certificate of verification cancelled;
(d) the purposes for which particular types of weighing or measuring equipment may be used for trade;
(e) the abbreviation of or symbols for units of measurement which may be used for trade;
(f) the limits of error to be allowed on verification and to be tolerated on inspection either generally or as respects any trade; and
(g) the manner of erection or use of weighing or measuring equipment used for trade.
(2) If any difference arises between an inspector and any other person as to the interpretation of any regulations made under this section, that difference may with the consent of that other person and shall at the request of that other person be referred to the superintendent whose decision shall be final.
(3) Where in the circumstances of any particular case it appears to be impracticable or unnecessary that any requirement of any regulations made under this section should be complied with, the superintendent may, if he thinks fit, dispense with the observance of that requirement subject to compliance with such condition, if any, as he thinks fit to impose; and if any person knowingly contravenes any condition imposed with respect to any equipment by virtue of this subsection, he shall be guilty of an offence and the equipment shall be liable to be forfeited.
