Background Information: Publication 

of this notice on behalf of the regional 

weights and measures associations is 

undertaken as a public service and does 

not itself constitute an endorsement by 

the National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) of the content of the 

notice. NIST participates in the regional 

weights and measures associations 

pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 272(b)(10) and 

(c)(4) and in accordance with Federal 

policy (e.g., OMB Circular A–119 

‘‘Federal Participation in the 

Development and Use of Voluntary 

Consensus Standards’’). 

The regional weights and measures 

associations are organizations of weights 

and measures officials of the states, 

counties, and cities representing four 

regions (Central, Western, Southern, and 

Northeast) of the United States, and 

include representatives from the private 

sector and federal agencies. These 

meetings bring together government 

officials and representatives of business, 

industry, trade associations, and 

consumer organizations on subjects 

related to the field of weights and 

measures technology, administration, 

and enforcement. The regional weights 

and measures associations operate 

Standing Committees to conduct open 

hearings on new items and for all 

carryover items from the preceding 2023 

Annual Meeting of the National 

Conference on Weights and Measures 

(NCWM). The regional meetings provide 

a forum for the further development of 

regional consensus for these items and 

serve as the gateway for moving any 

new items onto the national agenda of 

the NCWM. 

NIST also participates in the regional 

weights and measures associations 

providing technical insight and to 

encourage cooperation between the 

private sector, federal agencies, and the 

states in the development of legal 

metrology requirements. NIST also

promotes uniformity in state laws, 

regulations, and testing procedures used 

in the regulatory control of commercial 

weighing and measuring devices, 

packaged goods, and for other trade and 

commerce issues. 

Comments will be taken by the 

respective standing committees in each 

region on agenda items during the open 

hearing portion of the regional weights 

and measures association meetings. The 

committees then deliberate on these 

comments which are used to develop 

recommendations to be forwarded to the 

national-level standing committees of 

the NCWM. The sessions are open to 

registered attendees of the regional 

weights and measures association 

meetings and can include both 

association members and non-members 

that represent a range of stakeholder 

groups. These recommendations are 

intended to amend NIST Handbook 44, 

‘‘Specifications, Tolerances, and other 

Technical Requirements for Weighing 

and Measuring Devices’’ (NIST HB 44), 

NIST Handbook 130, ‘‘Uniform Laws 

and Regulations in the areas of Legal 

Metrology and Fuel Quality’’ (NIST HB 

130), and NIST Handbook 133 Checking 

the Net Contents of Packaged Goods 

(NIST HB 133). These NIST Handbooks 

are regularly adopted by states either by 

reference or through their 

administrative procedures. 

The following are brief descriptions of 

some of the significant agenda items 

that will receive further consideration 

by the Standing Committees at the 

upcoming regional weights and 

measures associations meetings. 

Comments will be taken on these and 

other issues during several public 

comment sessions. At this stage, the 

items are proposals. 

These notices are intended to make 

interested parties aware of these 

development projects and to make them 

aware that reports on the status of the 

project will be given at the January 2024 

NCWM Interim Meeting. The notices are 

also presented to invite the participation 

of manufacturers, experts, consumers, 

users, and others who may be interested 

in these efforts. 

Detailed Information: The 

Specifications and Tolerances (S&T) 

Committee of each of the regional 

weights and measures associations will 

consider proposed amendments to NIST 

HB 44. Those items address weighing 

and measuring devices used in 

commercial or law enforcement 

applications or for the collection of 

statistical information by government 

agencies. The following items are 

proposals to amend NIST HB 44: 

WIM—Weigh-In-Motion Systems 

WIM–23.1. Remove Tentative Status 

and Amend Numerous Sections 

Throughout. The S&T Committees will 

consider a proposal to convert the 

current Tentative Code of Section 2.25 

Weigh-In-Motion Systems Used for 

Vehicle Enforcement Screening to 

Permanent status and to expand the 

code to include ‘‘and Enforcement’’. 

This also includes (but is not limited 

to): (1) the addition of an Accuracy 

Class ‘‘E’’ WIM scale (in addition to 

Class A (classification applies to 

vehicles that will undergo screening)) in 

the specifications (S); (2) the addition of 

test procedures to address the new 

Accuracy Class E (classification applies 

to vehicles that undergo enforcement 

activity) in the test procedures (N) 

section for the determination of test 

speeds, dynamic test loads, and vehicle 

positions; (3) the designation of more 

stringent tolerances (T) for Accuracy 

Class E as compared to those for 

Accuracy Class A and a designation 

noting Accuracy Class E tolerances are 

to be applied to WIM scales used for 

enforcement purposes; and (4) the 

addition of a Class E weighing 

application in the user requirements 

(UR) for the explicit enforcement of 

vehicles based on axle, axle group, and 

gross vehicle weights. Assessments 

during the 2022 regional weights and 

measures association meetings 

recommended a Developing status to 

allow the submitters to address 

questions raised regarding the 

application of tolerances and test 

procedures and allow input regarding 

the use of the code for enforcement 

purposes (rather than screening) from 

those jurisdictions impacted by the 

proposed change in scope and status as 

well as input from other scale 

manufacturers. The submitters provided 

a revised proposal to the NCWM 

following the release of the 2023 NCWM 

Publication 15. At the 2023 NCWM 

Annual Meeting, the NCWM S&T 

Committee updated the item with the 

most recent version in the carryover 

report. This latest version has an 

Informational status and the item will 

be further discussed and assessed at the 

fall 2023 regional weights and measures 

association meetings. 

EVF—Electric Vehicle Fueling Systems 

EVF 23.4. This proposal submitted by 

Power Measurements, LLC is intended 

to update the existing required tests in 

NIST HB 44 (Section 3.40. Electric 

Vehicle Fueling Systems) specified for 

use to determine the accuracy of 

alternating current (AC) and direct 

current (DC) systems. The proposal has 

a Developing status and will expand the 

number of test points over a specific 

range of operating conditions for the test 

of an electric vehicle supply equipment 

(EVSE) system. The NIST United States 

National Work Group on Measuring 

Systems for Electric Vehicle Fueling and 

Submetering: Electric Vehicle Fueling 

Equipment Subgroup has also kept the 

Submitter and NCWM S&T Committee 

apprised of its ongoing work to develop 

a more suitable minimum set of test 

procedures to determine the 

performance of both AC and DC EVSE 

systems. 

EVF 23.6. The proposal submitted by 

Florida Department of Agriculture and 

Consumer Services, Electrify America, 

Tesla, EVGo, and Siemens was revised 

by the NCWM S&T Committee after 

comments during the 2023 NCWM 

Interim and Annual Meetings. The 

proposal would amend NIST HB 44, 

Section 3.40 to require either a physical 

or digitally formatted marking of 

accuracy for DC systems meeting ± 5% 

accuracy requirements. The proposed 

dual tolerance structure that would 

permit the wider ± 5% accuracy 

tolerance is permitted up through 2034. 

It also includes revisions to acceptance 

and maintenance tolerances for DC fast 

charging (DCFC) EV chargers that will 

be based on the pre- or post-2024 

installation and placed into service date 

of this equipment. The current NIST HB 

44 enforcement date of January 1, 2028, 

for DC systems tolerances adopted in 

July 2022 remains in effect. The 

proposal was voted on at the 2023 

NCWM Annual Meeting but did not 

receive enough votes to be adopted and 

was returned to the NCWM S&T 

Committee for further consideration and 

deliberation by stakeholders. 

EVF 23.7. The proposal submitted by 

Electrify America has a Developing 

status and would amend NIST HB 44, 

Section 3.40 to establish a larger range 

of test points that are usable for 

performing the light load tests, remove 

the requirement that the load be 

determined either through the pilot 

signal (AC systems) or digital 

communication (DC systems), and add a 

new definition for the term maximum 

deliverable amperes which is the value 

that the NIST HB 44 test procedures use 

to establish the range of points where 

tests are performed to determine an 

electric vehicle fueling system’s 

accuracy. The NCWM S&T Committee 

requested this proposal and Item EVF 

23.4 be considered in the ongoing work 

to develop a more suitable single set of 

minimum of test procedures for use in 

determining the performance of both AC 

and DC EVSE systems.

LPG—Liquid Petroleum Gas and 

Anhydrous Ammonia LiquidMeasuring Devices 

LPG—23.1 This proposal submitted 

by the National Propane Gas 

Association and U-Haul International 

addresses practical issues that propane 

retailers encounter when trying to 

comply with zero-set-back interlock 

requirements in NIST HB 44 for 

electronic stationary and electronic 

vehicle-mounted propane meters and 

stationary retail motor-fuel devices used 

to dispense propane. The intent of the 

proposal is to exempt the required use 

of zero-set-back interlock systems in a 

device used to both dispense liquified 

petroleum gas for use as a vehicle 

motor-fuel and in filling containers/ 

cylinders for other than motor-fuel 

applications. The NCWM S&T 

Committee at the 2023 NCWM Annual 

Meeting downgraded the status of the 

item from Voting to Informational to 

allow more time to better understand 

how the proposed changes will impact 

stakeholders. 

OTH—Other Items 

OTH 16.1. The NIST United States 

National Work Group on Measuring 

Systems for Electric Vehicle Fueling and 

Submetering: Watthour-Type Electric 

Meters Subgroup has worked to develop 

a proposed comprehensive set of legal 

metrology requirements for electric 

watthour meters used in submeter 

applications in residences and 

businesses (not intended to address 

utility metering under the authority of 

entities such as the local utility 

commission). The NCWM S&T 

Committee downgraded the proposed 

new code under consideration at the 

2023 NCWM Annual Meeting from a 

Voting status to Informational status 

following comments heard during open 

hearings. Current and new 

recommendations to language for this 

proposed new code will be heard at the 

fall 2023 regional weights and measures 

association meetings.
