Sections 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 shall read as follows:

8.1.1 Certification Agencies

All master plug and mating ring gauges, prior to use, shall be certified in accordance with the
stipulations given in Section 7. These metrology laboratories and accreditation bodies shall operate
in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 or equivalent standards.

8.1.2 Certification

The gauge certifying agency shall inspect new and reconditioned master gauges for conformance
to the requirements of Section 7. Master gauges shall be certified in complete sets, i.e. a master
plug and a master ring gauge. A single master plug or a single master ring gauge may not be
certified unless accompanied by a previously certified mating master gauge. For each gauge which
complies with the requirements, the certifying agency shall issue a certificate to the gauge owner,
showing the mating standoff measurement and stating that the gauge complies with this
Specification. For each gauge which does not comply with the requirements, the certifying agency
shall issue a report to the gauge owner, stating the reason for rejection and showing the measured
value for those dimensions which are outside the permissible limits. The certifying agency shall
also report obvious defects and poor workmanship which, in the opinion of the certifying agency,
may affect the future use of the gauge.

Master gauges and Certificates of Compliance may be transferred. If a certificate is not available,
the gauges shall be recertified and a new certificate issued by the gauge certifying agency.
