This Recommendation specifies

·    legal metrology requirements for prepackaged products (also called prepackaged commodities or prepackaged goods) labeled in predetermined constant nominal quantities of mass, volume, linear measure, area, or count, and

·         sampling plans and procedures for use by legal metrology officials in verifying the quantity of product in prepackages.

NOTE:  The sampling plans are not recommended for use in the quantity control processes of the packer.

This standard specifies legal metrology requirements for labelled packaged commodities with constant nominal content and subject to international trade.  It also covers sampling plans for net content verification of goods declared in units of mass or volume.

These requirements cover ballasts of the resistance, reactance, and electronic (solid state) types for use with fluorescent lamps involving a potential of 2500 volts or less in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NEPA 70. A fluorescent lamp ballast may be determined by investigation to be acceptable for use, in a fixture or other device, with electric-discharge lamps of other than the fluorescent type. A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those in use when the standard was developed, and that involves a risk of fire, electric shocks, or injury to persons shall be evaluated using the appropriate additional component and end-product requirements as determined necessary to maintain the level of safety for the user of the product as originally; anticipated by the intent of this standard.
