The regulations governing the reproduction of publicly owned artifacts define the term "reproduce" as the remaking of an item "in the original dimensions, original materials, original colors, and original appearance." In addition, Chin adds that "reproduce" in its strictest sense also means to remake an item using the original techniques.
按照《公有古物複製及監製管理辦法》的規定，複製係指「原尺寸、原材質、原色、原貌」之再製，對此，金士先補充，複製的嚴格定義還應包括「原工法」的再製。
