REFERENCE TEST FOR METROLOGICAL REQUIREMENTS
Inspectors of weights and measures shall conduct tests to determine if
prepackages comply with the requirements of these Rules. The tests may be
performed in accordance with quality acceptance inspection by sampling
prepackages at any level of distribution including at the point of-pack, import,distribution and wholesale transactions and sale.
The expanded uncertainties at 95% confidence level associated with measuring
instruments and test methods used for determining quantities shall not exceed0.2 T. Examples of the source of uncertainty include the maximum permissible
error and repeatability in weighing and measuring instruments, variations in
prepackage materials, and fluctuations in density determinations caused by the
differing amounts of solids in the liquid or temperatur e changes.
This Rule does not preclude an inspector from conducting any other test at any
level of distribution for the purpose of verifying that prepackages meet therequirements of the Rule.
Inspectors may permit r easonable deviations in the quantity of pr oduct (i.e.
hygroscopic products) caused by ordinary and customary exposure to
environmental conditions that occur in storage and distribution in the
evaluation of both the average and individual prepackage requirements. 
Statistical and general principles of control 
Criteria
The tests for acceptance or rejection of inspection lots shall take threeparameters into consideration:-
(a) the average error of the quantity of product in a prepackage in the
sample; The average actual quantity of pr oduct in a prepackage
in an inspection lot shall be at least equal to the nominal quantity .
(b)the percentage of prepackages in the sample that contains a
quantity of product less than Qn - T is less than 2.5% also calleda TI error. This is equal to the requirement that an inspection lotshall be rejected if the sample includes more inadequateprepackages which contain a quantity of product less than Qn - T
295than permitted in column 4 of Table 1of Schedule 10 called a TI
error; and 
(c) that an inspection lot must be rejected if one of more inadequate
prepackages in the sample contains a quantity of product less than
Qn - T2 called a T2 error.
An inspection lot is—
(a) accepted where it satisfies the requirements fixed for the three
parameters above or;
(b) rejected where it does not satisfy one or more of the requirements. 
2. Significance level of the tests for the Type I Risk (1)
The significance level, the value of which is the upper limit of this type
of error shall be 0.005. The tests shall determine if the average of the
quantity of product in a prepackage has a one-sided significance level of99.5% using coef ficients as derived from Student’ s t distribution.
αp <0.5 % for µ= Qn
That is, the probability of rejecting a correctly filled inspection lot with
µ = Qn shall not exceed 0.5%.
The test for Type I Risk (  1) shall have a significance level _p of:
_p < 5 % for p = 2.5%
that is, the probability (p) of rejecting an inspection lot containing 2.5%
of inadequate prepackages shall not exceed 5%.
3.Significance level of the tests for the T ype II Risk (1)
In at least 90% of the cases the tests shall detect inspection lots:—(a)for which the average fill is less than (Qn - 0.74_) where _ is the
sample standard deviation of the quantity of product in theprepackages of the inspection lot; and 
(b)which contain 9% of inadequate prepackages

Rules 1, 20 and 21
SAMPLING PLANS USED IN MARKET SURVEILLANCE
BY INSPECTORS
1. Inspection lots shall be assumed to be homogenous if there is no
indication to the contrary. Sample prepackages shall be selected using
random sampling.
2. Inspections carried out on the premises of the packer. 
An inspection lot taken from the production line shall consist of all
prepackages not rejected by a checking system. Care shall be taken to preventother than normal operating adjustments or other corrective actions in the
production and prepackage filling process. Sample prepackages must be
collected after the point of final checking by the packer. 
3. Where sample prepackages are-
(a)collected from the production line; the size of the inspection lot
shall be equal to the maximum hourly output of the productionline without any restriction as to the inspection lot size;
(b) not collected from the production line at the premises of the
packer; and when—
(i) the production line output exceeds 10,000 prepackages per
hour: the size of the inspection lot shall be equal to themaximum hourly output of the production line without anyrestriction as to the inspection lot size; or
(ii) The production line output is 10,000 or fewer prepackages
per hour; the inspection lot size shall not exceed 10,000prepackages.

DRAINED QUANTITY OF PRODUCTS PACKED IN A LIQUID
MEDIUM
1. Interpretation 
(a) Actual contents
The quantity of a product in a prepackage after equilibrium of
solution process is established and the liquid medium is drained
according to item 4.
(b) Liquid medium 
Means the following products, possibly in mixtures and also whenfrozen or quick frozen, provided that the liquid is merely anadjunct to the essential elements of that preparation and is thus nota decisive factor for the purchas; water, aqueous solutions of salts,
brine, aqueous solutions of food acids, vinegar , aqueous solutions
of sugars, aqueous solutions of other sweetening substances, fruitor vegetable juices in the case of fruit or vegetables. 
(c) Nominal quantity
Quantity of product in a prepackage less the liquid medium.
2.Procedure for determining the actual quantity of product 
Unless sampling periods are given in item 5, sampling shall be performedwhen the products are ready to be marketed according to the manufacturer orat any time not later than thirty days after sterilization, pasteurization orsimilar process. Select a sample of prepackages in accordance with Schedule10.The samples shall be stored for a period of 12 hours before testing within thetemperature range specified by the packer or between 200C and 240C.
3.Apparatus 
Use a flat sieve with a square mesh of 2.5mm and wire thickness of1.12mm for draining the product from a prepackage. The diameter of thesieve should be 20cm for use with containers over 850mL. Where thenominal quantity is 2.5kg or more, the quantity may, after weighing the
300whole amount be divided among several sieves. 
4. Determining the actual quantity of product of a sample
(a) Determine the weight of the sieve.
(b) Open the prepackage and pour the product and liquid medium
across the sieve. Distribute the product and liquid medium overthe surface of the sieve but do not shake the material on the sieve.Tilt the sieve to an angle of 170 to 200 from the horizontal tofacilitate draining.
Carefully invert by hand all solid product or parts thereof, which
have hollows or cavities if they fall on the sieve with the hollowsor cavities facing upwards. Drain the hollows or cavities in soft
products (e.g. sliced fruit) by tilting the sieve. Allow a 2 minute
drain time. 
(c) Reweigh the sieve plus contents and calculate the drained quantity
as follows;
P = P e2- Pe1
Where:P = drained quantity of the product
Pe1= weight of the clean sieve
Pe2= weight of the sieve plus product after draining 
Note: A subsequent weighing of the same sieve should ensure that it is clean
and free of product debris. The sieve does not have to be dry as long
as it is weighed accurately before being used. See also item 5.

Rule 1
TARE PROCEDURES
1. General 
The tare procedures permit the use of either used or unused dry tare to
determine the actual quantity of product in the prepackage as follows—
Actual quantity of product = Weight of the prepackage - Average weight
of the packing material
2. Interpretation 
(a) Unused dry tare
Weight of unused packing material of one prepackage.
(b)Used dry tare
Packing material that has been used as part of a prepackage andthat has been separated from the product and cleaned using normalhousehold procedures used by consumers of the product (e.g. thematerial should not be dried in an oven).
3.Procedures 
(a) Determine the quantity of either the unused dry tare or used dry tare.
(b) Randomly select an initial tare sample of 10 or more packing
materials from the sample taken from   an inspection lot or from alot of packing materials at the point-of-pack) and measure theweight of each packing material.
(c) Determine the Average Tare Weight (ATW) and the sample
standard deviation of the initial tare sample and proceed accordingto one of the criteria in Table 4.
302When Then 
The ATW is < 10% of the
nominal quantity of productUse the ATW to determine the actual quantity of
product in the prepackages
The ATW is > 10% of the
nominal quantity and s > 0.25 x TUse a total 25 packages to compute the ATW and
determine the actual quantity of product in theprepackages.
The ATW is > 10% of the
nominal quantity and s > 0.25 x TAn ATW cannot be used. It is necessary to
determine and to consider every individual tareweight. Determine the actual quantity of productin each prepackage.Table 4: Determination of Average Tare Weight

Rules 1 and 18
PROHIBITION OF DECEPTIVE PREPACKAGES
1. General 
A prepackage shall not have a false bottom, sidewalls, lid or covering,
nor constructed or filled, wholly or partially in such a way that deceivethe consumer. 
2. Interpretation 
(a) Slack fill
This is the difference between the actual capacity of the packing
material and the volume of product it contains. 
Slack fill may be necessary for the following reasons—
(i) Protection of the product;(ii)The requirements of machines used for enclosing the
contents of the prepackage;
(iii) Unavoidable product settling during shipping and handling;
and
(iv) The need for the prepackage to perform a specific function
for example, where packing plays a role in the preparationor consumption of a food), where such a function isinherent to the nature of the product and is clearlycommunicated to consumers.
2. Nonfunctional slack fill
Empty space in a prepackage when the prepackage is filled to less thanits capacity. If a consumer cannot fully view the product in a prepackage,it shall be considered to be filled. A prepackage with excessive
303nonfunctional slack fill is considered to be a misleading one.
3. Aerosol dispensers 
The percentage (grade) of fill by volume of aerosol dispensers shall be
as required in Annex III of European Directive 80/232/EEC (3) and see
also OIML R 79 (4), 6.1-6.3, R 87.
