These include providing that a conviction under section 6 of this Act (having a corrosive substance in a public place) is a "relevant conviction" for the purposes of those sentencing provisions and that the court should take account of the considerations in section 8(2) of this Act in appropriate cases. For proceedings for the offence in Scotland, a certificate that a product or substance is of a particular kind is treated as sufficient evidence of that fact.
