A. The commissioner may adopt rules and regulations for the implementation and enforcement of the provisions of this Chapter. The regulations may, by specific reference, adopt all or part of any handbook, standards or procedures issued or established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the American Society for Testing and Materials, their successors, or any other federal or nonprofit agency that prepares and issues nationally recognized standards for commercial weighing and measuring devices. The regulations may include standards of net weight, net measure, or net count for any commodity, product, or article, and specifications and tolerances for all weights, measures, and weighing and measuring devices. These specifications and tolerances shall be designated to eliminate from use, without prejudice to apparatus which conform as closely as practicable to the official standards, those which are not accurate, those which are faulty in that they are not reasonably permanent in their adjustment or will not repeat their indications correctly, and those which facilitate the perpetration of fraud.
