(2)The department, within a 12-month period or less frequently if in accordance with a schedule issued by it, and as often as it considers necessary, shall inspect and test, to ascertain if they are correct, all weights and measures commercially used:
(a)in determining the weight, measurement, or count of commodities or things sold or offered or exposed for sale on the basis of weight, measure, or count; or
(b)in computing the basic charge or payment for services rendered on the basis of weight, measure, or count.
(3)With respect to single-service devices designed to be used commercially only once and to be then discarded and with respect to devices uniformly mass-produced, as by means of a mold or die, and not susceptible of individual adjustment, tests may be made on representative samples of the devices. The lots of which the samples are representative must be held to be correct or incorrect upon the basis of the results of the inspections and tests on the samples.
