The following is a list of examination result codes and accompanying notes
| Code | Result | Definition | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| V | Verified | The device complies with all requirements |
Service contracts may require limits of error that are more restrictive than the legislated limits of error. Adjustments to bring devices within service contract requirements may be noted in the Comments field and test reports, but are not reported as adjustments for certification purposes.
Includes devices with “as found" errors that were adjusted/repaired during the examination in order to meet requirements. |
| W | Warning | Error against trader (see note 1 below) |
A measurement error greater than the limit of error is found and the device cannot be brought into compliance during the examination. Also used when a device is found with non-measurement (N) or installation (I) errors against the trader.
In such instances, devices must be re-examined at a later date, after servicing, to be certified. |
| R | Rejected | Error against consumer (see note 2 below) |
A measurement error greater than the limit of error is found and the device cannot be brought into compliance during the examination. Also used when a device is found with non-measurement (N) or installation (I) errors against the consumer, as well as errors that can be against both the consumer and the trader.
In such instances, devices must be re-examined at a later date, after servicing, to be certified. |
| S | Seized | For use by Measurement Canada only |
If the examination result is “seized”, the certificate must be annotated to this effect. The trader must be informed of their responsibilities and their signature must be requested.
When a device used in trade without having been initially examined pursuant to section 8 of the Weights and Measures Act is seized, code S is selected from the Result dropdown list and code X is selected from the “As found” dropdown list.
When an unapproved device used in trade is seized, S is selected from the Result dropdown list and Z is selected from the “As found” dropdown list. |
| X | Not for use in trade | For use by Measurement Canada only | Select examination type 0. The device will be removed from the active device population. |
| Z | Not legal for trade | For use by Measurement Canada only | Select examination type 0. The device will be removed from the active device population. |
Note 1: Examination result code W must be selected where a device is found operating with measurement errors in favour of the consumer and non-measurement or installation infractions against the trader. See note 3 below.
Note 2: Examination result code R must be used where a device is found operating with measurement errors against the consumer. This could be caused by a device used for selling that is over-indicating or a device used for buying that is under-indicating. See note 3 below.
Examination result code R and “as found” code X or Z may be selected under the direction of the District Manager.
Note 3: If examination result code R or W is selected, it is imperative that the recognized technician or inspector determine all uses of the device. If the device may be used for both buying and selling, code R must be selected, as for any infraction where it cannot be readily determined whether the consumer or the trader is the disadvantaged party.
