## What the source says

**Accuracy class:** The source prints this value inside the passage below but does not name it there. The passage shows where it appears; what ties it to this record is the position on the page, not anything the passage says.

> For static loads under rated operating conditions, the MPE for reference accuracy class Ref(x), shall be 0,312 of the maximum permissible deviation of each fill from the average; as specified in Table 5; multiplied by the class designation factor (x).

## Where each value comes from

This source states these in separate places, so each value is shown with the passage that states it.
