2.11 Seal status
This refers to the condition of the seal upon arrival at the establishment.
For some devices, seals must be affixed to more than one location. If a required seal is broken or missing, the appropriate code for a broken or missing seal is to be used and the location of the broken or missing seal entered in the Comments field.

| 1 | Initial | A seal affixed by a Measurement Canada inspector or a recognized technician as part of an initial examination. |
| 2 | Intact | The seal is intact. |
| 3 | Broken | The seal has been broken. |
| 4 | Missing | The seal is missing. |
| 5 | Audit trail | Used for electronic devices "sealed" by means of an audit trail, which must comply with the minimum requirements found in the Terms and conditions for the approval of metrological audit trails. |
| 6 | Not sealable | Used if there is no practical means to affix a seal to the device (e.g. dial scales that cannot be sealed). |
| 7 | Partially examined | Used by Measurement Canada inspectors when a full examination was not performed. |
