5. General Measure No 0111-OOP-C106-26 – metrological and technical requirements for the type approval, verification and testing of specified measuring instruments:
‘measuring systems for determining the energy value of energy gases and their mixtures’
6. a measure of a general nature laying down metrological and technical requirements for specified measuring instruments, including test methods for type approval, verification and checking of specified measuring instruments
7.
8. The regulation lays down the metrological and technical requirements for these specified measuring instruments, including the test methods for type approval and verification of specified measuring instruments.
Keywords:
measuring instrument, measuring systems, determining the energy value of energy gases and their mixtures
9. Measuring systems for determining the energy value of energy gases and their mixtures may be placed on the market and put into use in the Czech Republic as specified measuring instruments pursuant to Act No 505/1990 on metrology, as amended. Pursuant to this Act, specified measuring instruments are instruments that are included in the list of the types of specified measuring instruments (Decree No 345/2002) and, at the same time, intended (by the manufacturer/importer) for measurements relevant to the protection of public interests in consumer protection, contractual relations, imposition of sanctions, fees, tariffs and taxes, health protection, environmental protection, occupational safety, or the protection of other public interests protected by special legislation. This is therefore a purpose similar to the one defining specified products – non-automatic measuring instruments and scales pursuant to Directives 2014/31/EU and 2014/32/EU. The requirements of this legislation do not apply to measuring instruments not placed on the market in the Czech Republic for the above purposes, defined by Act No 505/1990 on metrology, as amended.
The purpose of this notified legislation is to lay down metrological and technical requirements for these specified measuring instruments. This legislation also stipulates tests for type approval and verification of specified measuring instruments of this type.
References to the basic texts:
Act No 505/1990 on metrology, as amended
Decree No 345/2002 stipulating measuring instruments for mandatory verification and measuring instruments subject to type approval, as amended
§ 171 et seq. of Act No 500/2004, the Administrative Code, as amended
(previous notification 2026/0420/CZ)
9a. This measure of a general nature has been drawn up with a view to achieving the specified objective, whilst taking the greatest possible account of international standards and other generally accepted principles and norms.
9b. Act No 505/1990 on metrology assumes that, for the types of specified measuring instruments listed in the Annex to Decree No 345/2002 laying down the measuring instruments subject to mandatory verification and those subject to type approval, the technical and metrological requirements, including tests for the purposes of type approval, verification and checking of specified measuring instruments, shall be specified in a measure of a general nature.
9c. Given the intended purpose, the stipulated requirements are designed to be as minimal as possible. Moreover, from the manufacturer's point of view, they replicate the usual requirements of normative regulations for products. For manufacturers or users, the type-approval or verification process simply involves demonstrating that the relevant requirements have been met. In addition, the manufacturer does not necessarily have to undergo all the tests at the time of type-approval, if they have already been carried out. The general principle of recognition applies where the requirements are met.
