Where should the re-qualification sticker be placed on an instrument?
The re-qualification sticker should be affixed so that it is clearly visible when the instrument is in its regular operating position and obliterates as far as possible any disqualification sticker (see the Non-automatic Weighing Instruments Regulations 2000, Reg. 18-(9)). In other words, if there is a disqualification sticker on the instrument, then the re-qualification sticker should be placed over the disqualification sticker. If there is no disqualification sticker, then the re-qualification sticker is placed in the “clearly visible” location where a disqualification sticker would have been placed if one had been present.
