The application for approval must be on a sundry notice (form 4 or form provided by the commission) and shall include the make and model number of the meter, the meter or station number, the serial number, the well name, its location, and the date the meter will be placed in service.

The commission will review any revised standards, and when deemed necessary will amend the requirements accordingly.
Any meter tests performed by a person not registered with the commission will not be accepted as a valid test.
