(c) Automatic gravimetric filling instruments that fill containers with a predetermined and virtually constant mass of product from bulk;
(d) Discontinuous totalisers (Totalising hopper weigher) that determine the mass of a bulk product by dividing it into discrete loads. The mass of each discrete load is determined in sequence and summed and each discrete load is then delivered to bulk;
(e) Continuous totalisers that continuously determine the mass of a bulk product on a conveyor belt, without systematic subdivision of the product and without interrupting the movement of the conveyor belt;
(f) Rail-weighbridges that have a load receptor inclusive of rails for conveying railway vehicles;
(g) Weight labelling instruments that label individual articles with the weight value;
(h) Weight/price labelling instruments that label individual articles with weight and price.

Taximeters.                                                                                Used for the purpose of trade.

Material measures of length comprising scale marks whose distances are given in legal units of length.   For the measurement of length.                                                                                Used for the purpose of trade.

Capacity serving measures (such as a drinking glass, jug or thimble measure).                            For the determination of a specified volume of a liquid (other than a pharmaceutical product) which is sold for immediate consumption.                                                                                Used for the purpose of trade.

Dimensional measuring instruments: length, area and multi-dimensional measuring instruments.             (a) Length measuring instruments that serve for the determination of the length of rope type materials (e.g. textiles, bands, cables) during feed motion of the product to be measured;                                                                       Used for the purpose of trade.

(b) Area measuring instruments that serve for the determination of the area of irregular shaped objects (e.g. leather);
(c) Multi-dimensional measuring instruments that serve for the determination of the edge length (length, height, width) of the smallest enclosing rectangular parallelepiped of a product.

Exhaust gas analysers.  That determine the volume fractions of gas components of exhaust gas of a motor vehicle, those gas components being:  Used for the protection of the environment.

(a) Carbon monoxide (CO);
(b) Carbon dioxide (CO2);
(c) Oxygen (O2);
(d) Hydrocarbons (HC).
