Section 10k(7) in The Standards of Weights and Measures (General) Rules, 1987

(7)Permissible difference between resultsRegardless of what variation of results is permitted, the error of any single weighing result shall by itself not exceed the maximum permissible error for the given load.
(i)Repeatability
The difference between the maximum and minimum results of several weighings of the same load shall not be greater than the absolute value of the maximum permissible error for the given load.
(ii)Eccentric loading
The indications for different positions of a load shall meet the maximum permissible errors, when the instrument is tested according to sub-paragraphs (a) to (d) of this paragraph.
(a)Unless otherwise specified hereafter, a load corresponding to 1/3 of the sum of the maximum capacity and the corresponding maximum additive tare effect shall be applied.
(b)On an instrument with a load receptor having n points of support, with 11>4, the fraction 1/(n-1) of the sum of the maximum capacity and the maximum additive tare effect shall be applied to each point of support.
(c)On an instrument with a load receptor subject to minimal off-centre loading (e.g., tank, hopper) a test load corresponding to one-tenth of the sum of the maximum capacity and the maximum additive tare effect shall be applied to each point or support.
(d)On an instrument used for weighing rolling loads (e.g., vehicle scale, rail suspension instrument) a rolling test load corresponding to the usual rolling load, the heaviest and the most concentrated one which may be weighed, but not exceeding 0.8 times the sum of the maximum capacity and the maximum additive tare effect, shall be applied at different points on the load receptor.
(iii)Multiple indicating devices
For a given load the difference between the indications of multiple indicating devices including tare weighing device, shall be not greater than the absolute value of the maximum permissible error, but shall be zero between digital indicating or printingdevices.
(iv)Different positions of equilibrium
The difference between two results obtained for the same load when the method of balancing the load is changed (in the case of an instrument fitted with a device for extending the self-indication capacity) in two consecutive tests, shall not exceed the absolute value of the maximum permissible error for the applied load.
