(a) Reporting. - A complete record of all tests and adjustments with sufficient data to allow checking of test calculations shall be recorded by the meter man and shall be reported to the Commission as required on such form or forms as may be prescribed by the Commission.

The test records shall be so kept that they may be readily inspected and checked by the Commission or Public Staff.

(b) Meter Records. - All meters shall have a number plainly stenciled or stamped on the meter case or lid, or stamped upon a metal strip, suitably attached to meter or case.
