A. The Corporation Commission is hereby authorized and directed
to promulgate such tests, standards, specifications and rules
necessary to carry out the provisions of this act and to ensure that
all measuring devices shall be of the highest degree of accuracy

for such purpose the Commission shall have authority to prescribe
such maximum limits of allowable error for such measuring devices as
the Commission deems necessary to prevent fraud resulting from
inaccurate measurement.
B. The Commission is authorized to promulgate rules as
necessary to establish a voluntary calibration program for tanks and

container has been altered by accident or design. A Certificate of
Measurement shall be issued by the Commission for tanks and
containers which are calibrated by the manufacturer, another state
or the Commission. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Commission
from ordering the mandatory calibration testing of any tank,
container or metering device which the Commission has good reason to
believe is inaccurate and is being utilized to defraud any person,
firm or corporation.
