The specifications, tolerances, and other technical requirements for commercial and other weighing and measuring devices, law enforcement, and data gathering, as adopted by the National Conference on Weights and Measures and published in National Bureau of Standards Handbook 44, “Specifications, Tolerances, and Other Technical Requirements for Weighing and Measuring Devices”, and supplements thereto or revisions thereof, shall apply to weights and measures in the City of Cleveland except insofar as modified or rejected by the Ohio Revised Code or the Ohio Administrative Code.
(Ord. No. 1241-91. Passed 6-17-91, eff. 6-26-91)
Commercial equipment shall be suitable for the service in which it is used with respect to elements of its design, including but not limited to its weighing capacity (for weighing devices), its computing capability (for computing devices), the character, number size, and location of its indicating or recording elements, and the value of its smallest unit and unit prices.
(Ord. No. 1241-91. Passed 6-17-91, eff. 6-26-91)
All weights or measures in service and all mechanisms and devices attached thereto or used in connection therewith shall continuously be maintained in proper operating condition throughout the period of such service. Weights or measures in service at a single place of business found to be in error predominately in a direction favorable to the device user and near the tolerance limits shall not be considered “maintained in a proper operating condition.”
(Ord. No. 1241-91. Passed 6-17-91, eff. 6-26-91)
A weight or measure equipped with a primary indicating element and used in direct sales, except a prescription scale, shall be so positioned that its indications may be accurately read and the weighing or measuring operations may be observed from some reasonable “customer” position. The permissible distance between the equipment and a reasonable customer position shall be determined in each case upon the basis of the individual circumstances, particularly the size and character of the indicating element.
(Ord. No. 1241-91. Passed 6-17-91, eff. 6-26-91)
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter or by regulations promulgated pursuant hereto, any package kept for the purpose of sale or offered or exposed for sale shall conform to the standards of the Uniform Packaging and Labeling Regulation as adopted by the National Conference on Weights and Measures and published in the National Bureau of Standards Handbook 130, “Uniform Laws and Regulations”, and RC 1327.57, “Information Required on Packages and Advertising.”
(Ord. No. 1241-91. Passed 6-17-91, eff. 6-26-91)
Whenever a packaged commodity is advertised in any manner with the retail price stated, there shall be closely and conspicuously associated with the retail price a declaration of quantity as is required by law or regulation to appear on the package. Where a declaration is required, only the declaration that sets forth the quantity in terms of the smaller unit of weight or measure need appear in the advertisement.
