Section 965 in Rules under the United Provinces Excise Act, 1910
965. Weighing machine.
- The weighing machines supplied to bonded warehouses for the weighment of drugs shall be tested at least once a year by the Assistant Excise Commissioner. Any defect in the weighing machine should be immediately reported to the Excise Commissioner. Testing may conveniently be done by placing standard weights, or a package exact weight, of which has been previously ascertained by means of standard weights, and a beam-scale, on the weighing machine and observing if the indications coincide. The weighing machine must be kept free from rust, the index arm and bearing being occasionally oiled. Where beam-scales have been supplied, the latter should be used in preference to the weighing machines.
