**The following tables contain lists of existing code sections with
approaching retroactive or nonretroactive enforcement dates or recently
adopted requirements that are enforceable as of January 1, 2008. These
NIST Handbook 44, "Specifications, Tolerances, and Other Technical
Requirements for Weighing and Measuring Devices," requirements may
require action by device manufacturers, owners/operators, or regulatory
officials. This information is provided to alert interested parties to
upcoming Handbook 44 requirements. Requirements in the tables may be
paraphrased; therefore, the latest edition of Handbook 44 should be
consulted for the complete text. Codes that were amended to provide
greater clarity or make other editorial changes are not included in this
information. A complete report of changes to the handbook is published
annually in the Report of the National Conference on Weights and
Measures. Changes to requirements are also referenced in the amendments
table in each edition of Handbook 44. It is recommended that you contact
the statutory authority in your weights and measures jurisdiction for
specific details on the enforcement of these code requirements.**

**Retroactive requirements apply to *all* equipment in commercial
service prior to, and in use at any time on or after, the enforcement
date. Nonretroactive requirements are enforceable for equipment: (1)
manufactured, (2) new and used brought into a jurisdiction, and (3)
previously in noncommercial use, then placed into commercial use *after*
the effective date. Note: Paragraphs designated with a bracketed
superscript number one \[^1^\] include multiple requirements with
various enforcement dates.**
