Each type of weight and measure or weighing and measuring device manufactured, offered, or exposed for sale or sold or given away for the use in trade or commerce, or used in trade and commerce in this State, shall conform with the requirements and specifications in the National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook 44, 105-1, 105-2, 105-3, 105-4, or 105-8 and any of their revisions or supplements. Such weights and measures or weighing and measuring devices used for commercial or law enforcement purposes must have a Certificate of Conformance, unless such devices were certified by the Department or the city sealer on or before July 1, 2012.
