Section 15 of PA 1934 : Section 15: Standard Test Apparatus

Explanation using Example

Imagine a company, "SafeFuel Technologies," which specializes in the production of various petroleum products. To ensure compliance with safety regulations, they need to regularly test the flash-point of their petroleum to prevent accidents caused by highly flammable materials. According to Section 15 of The Petroleum Act, 1934, the government has appointed an officer who maintains a "Standard Test Apparatus" for this purpose.

SafeFuel Technologies, wanting to verify that their own testing equipment is accurate, decides to compare their results with the official standard. They pay the prescribed fee and arrange a visit during the designated inspection times. Upon inspection, they find that their apparatus shows a slight deviation from the "Standard Test Apparatus." They use this information to calibrate their equipment, ensuring that their petroleum products are tested accurately and maintain the safety standards required by law.
