Section 12

The Minister may by order prohibit the use of any weighing or measuring instrument for any purposes that he or she may specify, even though the weighing or measuring instrument has been inspected, tested and passed as fit for use for trade under this Part, if the Minister is satisfied that the use of such weighing or measuring instrument should be discontinued for any purposes that may be specified in the order.

If any person uses for trade, or has in the person’s possession for trade, any weighing or measuring instrument to which an order made under subsection (1) applies, the person shall be guilty of an offence and the instrument shall be liable to be forfeited.
