Weights and Measures Act 1987

Stamping, verification, and approval of weights and measures

22: Sections 20 and 21 not to apply to automatic weighing or dispensing machines

You could also call this:

“Automatic machines don't need to follow some weighing and measuring rules”

You don’t need to worry about sections 20 and 21 if you’re using an automatic weighing machine or an automatic machine that measures and gives out liquids. These sections don’t apply to these types of machines. This means that the rules in sections 20 and 21 don’t affect how you use or operate these automatic machines.
