Section 9.28 - Reweighing and issuance of certificates(a)Conditions of reweighing. A licensed weighmaster may not reweigh or issue a weighmaster's certificate for solid fuel unless the motor vehicle operator has surrendered the original and duplicate weighmaster's certificates in his possession pertaining to the solid fuel. These certificates shall be attached by the weighmaster to the scale copy of the new weighmaster's certificate. The new weighmaster's certificate shall be issued and maintained in a manner that the new certificate and any prior certificates may be easily reconciled. A duplicate copy may be returned to the operator of vehicle if the duplicate copy of the weighmaster's certificate is obliterated with a rubber stamp using the following legend: This solid fuel has been reweighed and this certificate should not be accepted. Any attempt to use this certificate to deliver solid fuel should be reported to your local or State inspector of weights and measures at once.
(b)Certain anthracite. In the case of anthracite, except barley and the smaller sizes, before issuing the new certificates, the weighmaster shall accurately and legibly imprint on the original and each copy the complete certificate of quality required by the Anthracite Standards Law (73 P. S. §§ 261-269), as it appears on the surrendered certificates.(c)Consequence of failure to surrender weighmaster certificate. If the operator refuses or fails to surrender the weighmaster certificate, the weighmaster shall refuse to weigh the vehicle.
