The following fees apply toall weights that are tested and certified to meet tolerances less stringentthan the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E617 Class4. This includes the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST)Class F tolerance. If the weight error exceeds three‑fourths of theapplicable tolerance, adjustment may be required at an additional fee equal tothe normal fee. No extra fee shall be charged for the normal adjustment of aweight cart. Even if weights are rejected or condemned, fees shall be assessedfor the test performed.

If necessary and considered feasible by the metrologist, adjustments toASTM Class 1, 2, or 3 tolerances or IOLM Class E2, F1, or F2 tolerances may bemade for an additional fee of two times the normal fee. Adjustments to weightsof this group shall require a minimum of 10 days for weights to return toenvironmental equilibrium before a final calibration value can be assigned.Even if weights are rejected or condemned, fees shall be assessed for the testperformed.
