§486-109  Duties of owners or custodians of
measuring apparatus.  Measures and measurement standards shall be subject
to the control of the department, through the measurement standards branch,
until such time as they receive a certificate of conformance.  Measures or
measurement standards that have been initially type evaluated and approved, and
subsequently found to be incorrect as defined in this chapter shall remain
subject to the control of the department, through the measurement standards
branch, until such time as suitable repairs shall have been made, and the
measure or measurement standard is found to be correct as defined in this
chapter, or such devices may be destroyed.  The owners of the unapproved or
rejected measures or measurement standards shall cause the same to be type
evaluated and approved or made correct within thirty days or such longer period
as may be authorized by the department, through the measurement standards
branch; or, in lieu of this, may dispose of the same, but only in such manner
as is specifically authorized by the department, through the measurement
standards branch.  Measures and measurement standards subject to this chapter
that have not been type evaluated and approved or that have been rejected shall
not be used until they have been officially type evaluated and approved or
reexamined and found to be correct or until specific written permission for
such use is issued by the department, through the measurement standards branch,
or until the rejection tag has been removed by the department, through the
measurement standards branch, and the rejected device or apparatus repaired or
corrected and placed in service by a person duly registered to perform the acts
under rules adopted by the board pursuant to section 486-7. [L 1991, c 153, pt
