§

2639. Disposition of correct and incorrect apparatus

The Secretary

shall approve for use and seal or mark with appropriate devices such weights

and measures as he or she finds upon inspection and test to be

"correct" as defined in section 2633 of this title, and shall reject

and mark or tag as "rejected" such weights and measures as he or she

finds, upon inspection or test, to be "incorrect" as defined in

section 2633 of this title, but which in his or her best judgment are susceptible

of satisfactory repair. However, such sealing or marking shall not be required

with respect to such weights and measures as may be exempted therefrom by a

regulation of the Secretary issued under section 2633 of this title. The

Secretary shall condemn, and may seize and may destroy, weights and measures

found to be incorrect that, in his or her best judgment, are not susceptible of

satisfactory repair. Weights and measures that have been rejected may be

confiscated and may be destroyed by the Secretary if not corrected as required

by section 2642 of this title, or if used, or disposed of contrary to the

requirements of section 2642 of this title. (Added 1967, No. 102, § 14, eff.
