S.C. Code Regs. § § 5-342
Current through Register Vol. 48, 12, December 27, 2024
Section 5-342 - Variations Where Minimum Quantity Not ExpressedWhere the statement does not express the minimum quantity:
(a) Variations from the stated weight or measure shall be permitted when caused by ordinary and customary exposure, after the cosmetic is introduced into commerce, to conditions which normally occur in good distribution practice and which unavoidably result in change of weight or measure.(b) Variations from the stated weight, measure or numerical count shall be permitted when caused by unavoidable deviations in weighing, measuring, or counting individual packages which occur in good packing practice. But under this paragraph variations shall not be permitted to such extent that the average of the quantities in the packages comprising a shipment or other delivery of the cosmetic is below the quantity stated, and no unreasonable shortage in any package shall be permitted, even though overages in other packages in the same shipment or delivery compensate for such shortage.
