8  Continued recognition of existing verification and certification marks

(1) This item applies if:
 (a) a measuring instrument has been marked under an earlier corresponding law with an inspector's mark or a licensee's mark (within the meaning of the earlier corresponding law); and
 (b) the mark is present on the instrument immediately before the transition day; and
 (c) the presence of the mark on the instrument at that time is in accordance with the earlier corresponding law.

(2) Subject to subitem (3), on and from the transition day the instrument is taken to be a measuring instrument verified for the purposes of the new law.

(3) If the instrument is of a class for which a re‑verification period is prescribed under paragraph 18GG(1)(b) of the new law:
 (a) the re‑verification period is taken to have started on the day on which the instrument was last marked with an inspector's mark or licensee's mark under the earlier corresponding law; and
 (b) the instrument ceases to be verified at the end of the re‑verification period, unless re‑verified before that day.

(4) If the re‑verification period prescribed under paragraph 18GG(1)(b) would, on the application of paragraph (3)(a) of this item, end before the transition day, the instrument does not cease to be verified under paragraph (3)(b) of this item, but does cease to be verified on the last day of the period of 1 month beginning at the start of the transition day, unless re‑verified before that day.
