1. (a) The director may waive annual verification of field standards if the director determines that the accuracy of the field standards is within acceptable tolerances as set out in one of the eight editions in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 105 Series, which are adopted by reference. The eight editions adopted by reference in this subsection are as follows:

   1. (1) Handbook 105-1: Specifications and Tolerances for Field Standard Weights (NIST Class F) (1990 Edition);
   2. (2) Handbook 105-2: Specifications and Tolerances for Field Standard Measuring Flasks (1996 Edition);
   3. (3) Handbook 105-3: Specifications and Tolerances for Graduated Neck Type Volumetric Field Standards (February 2010 Edition);
   4. (4) Handbook 105-4: Specifications and Tolerances for Liquefied Petroleum Gas and Anhydrous Ammonia Liquid Volumetric Provers (2016 Edition);
   5. (5) Handbook 105-5: Specifications and Tolerances for Field Standard Stopwatches (1997 Edition);
   6. (6) Handbook 105-6: Specifications and Tolerances for Thermometers (1997 Edition);
   7. (7) Handbook 105-7: Specifications and Tolerances for Dynamic Small Volume Provers (1997 Edition);
   8. (8) Handbook 105-8: Specifications and Tolerances for Field Standard Weight Carts (2003 Edition).
2. (b) If the director waives the annual verification date under this section, the director will set a new date for verification and indicate that date in the division records.
