Material measures of length · Annex X · between two non-consecutive scale marks, a and b as in Table 1

For Material measures of length, annex is Annex X; condition is between two non-consecutive scale marks, a and b as in Table 1; maximum permissible error is (a + bL); scope or member state option is When a terminal interval is bounded by a surface, the MPE for any distance beginning at this point is increased by the value c given in Table 1, recorded from its source on 2026-09-01.

Values marked our reading are our classification of what the source says — the source does not print them in those words. The quote below is the evidence for each one; judge it yourself.

What the source says

The MPE, positive or negative in mm, between two non-consecutive scale marks is (a + bL), where: — | L is the value of the length rounded up to the next whole metre; and | — | a and b are given in Table 1 below. | When a terminal interval is bounded by a surface, the MPE for any distance beginning at this point is increased by the value c given in Table 1. Table 1 Accuracy Class | a (mm) | b | c (mm) | I | 0,1 | 0,1 | 0,1 | II | 0,3 | 0,2 | 0,2 | III | 0,6 | 0,4 | 0,3 | D — | special class for dipping tapes (1) Up to and including 30 m (2) | | 1,5 | zero | zero | S — | special class for tank strapping tapes For each 30 m length when the tape is supported on a flat surface | | 1,5 | zero | zero
