        (1)         The required measurement marking must —

            (a)         be close to, and marked to be read in the same direction as, any name or brand of the article to which it relates; and

            (b)         be at least 2 mm from the limits of the package and separated by at least 2 mm in all directions from other graphic matter or copy; and

            (c)         be in a form in which units of measurement under the metric system are ordinarily written in the English language; and

            (d)         in the case of a decimal submultiple, be preceded by a zero or other numeral.

        (2)         If a package is entirely or substantially cylindrical, spheroidal, conical or of oval cross‑section, the measurement marking must, in addition to complying with subregulation (1), be positioned so that no part of the marking is further than one‑sixth of the circumference of the package from a notional line vertically bisecting that part of the package on which the marking is required to be made.

        (3)         For the purposes of subregulation (2), the circumference of a package is the circumference where the measurement marking is made.
