**The following tables contain a list of upcoming retroactive,
nonretroactive, and recently enacted enforcement dates for NIST Handbook
44 code requirements, which may require action by device manufacturers,
owners/operators, or regulatory officials. This information is provided
to alert interested parties on upcoming Handbook 44 requirements.
Requirements in the tables are paraphrased; therefore, it is recommended
that the latest edition of Handbook 44 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. 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 the number ^1^
include multiple requirements with various enforcement dates.**
