## What the source says

> CHAPTER IV Discontinuous Totalisers 1. Accuracy Classes Instruments are divided into four accuracy classes as follows: 0,2; 0,5; 1; 2. 2. MPEs Table 6 Accuracy class | MPE of totalised load | 0,2 | ± 0,10 % | 0,5 | ± 0,25 % | 1 | ± 0,50 % | 2 | ± 1,00 % | 3. Totalisation scale interval

## Where each value comes from

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

### Instrument type

> ANNEX VIII AUTOMATIC WEIGHING INSTRUMENTS (MI-006) The relevant essential requirements of Annex I, the specific requirements of this Annex and the conformity assessment procedures listed in Chapter I of this Annex, apply to automatic weighing instruments defined below, intended to determine the mass of a body by using the action of gravity on that body.
