  2. Introduction: European legislation • COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 26 July 1971 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to gas volume meters (71/318/EEC) Official Journal L 202, 06/09/1971 • Old approach • DIRECTIVE 2004/22/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 31 March 2004 on measuring instrumentsOfficial Journal L 135/1, 30/04/2004 • New approach European Forum Gas 2005 - Block 3 "Current aspects of gas metering" - Jos Dehaeseleer

  3. Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) - 1 • New Approach Directive • High level of consumer protection • No barriers to the free movement of measuring instruments • Not impede technical progress (technology independent) • … European Forum Gas 2005 - Block 3 "Current aspects of gas metering" - Jos Dehaeseleer

  4. 71/318/EEC Particular technologies Volumetric meters: meters with deformable walls meters with rotary pistons Non-volumetric meters: turbine meters Particular test regimes 2004/22/EC Technology independent Class 1,0 and 1,5 Volume conversion devices Intended for residential, commercial and light industrial use Conformity assessment (often referred to as ‘the modules’) Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) - 2 European Forum Gas 2005 - Block 3 "Current aspects of gas metering" - Jos Dehaeseleer

  5. Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) – 3 • Binding on the Member States, not directly on individuals • Member States may prescribe the use of…(Art 2).…. but if they do, the regulation must be consistent with the directive so that there are no legislative barriers to trade (Art 3) • Regulates up to the stage of placing on the market and putting into use. • In service verification not specifically covered by the MID European Forum Gas 2005 - Block 3 "Current aspects of gas metering" - Jos Dehaeseleer

  6. Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) - TIMING • Entry into force (Article 26) : 30/04/2004 • Transposition (Article 24) : Member states shall adopt and publish the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the MID before30/04/2006 • Member States shall apply these provisions from 30/10/2006(Article 24) • Transitional provisions (Article 23) : 30/10/2016 European Forum Gas 2005 - Block 3 "Current aspects of gas metering" - Jos Dehaeseleer
