The information content of the Table of Adoptions by the States could be enhanced if the heading "Packaging and Labeling" were changed to "Permits Metric-Only Labeling."
The entries "yes" and "YES" could remain as they are presently defined. More detailed entries could be created. For example: yes(a) = metric-only labeling is permitted by the unique laws of this state. yes(b) = metric-only labeling is permitted by the unique regulations of this state. yes(c) = metric-only labeling is permitted by the unique policies of this state. The entries "no" and "NO" could remain defined as they are presently defined, but a new entry "NO(d)" could be defined as "does requires dual-unit labels on products under the jurisdictions of this state, and has not adopted the NCWM Standard for the UPLR." Is there a prospect of incorporating this proposal, as an editorial enhancement. in the 2014 Edition of NIST HB 130? Eugene Mechtly
