Datum: 23.01.97 14,55 Betreff:Kopie von: EU Directive on Measuring Instruments Richard, the EU Directive on Measuring Instruments (Metro 6), of course, is no fairytale. It is an upcoming EU directive which was discussed from time to time in 1996. Now, in 1997, it is pushed forward and should be discussed as a draft in the European Committee in September/October 97. The proposed directive concerns metrological properties and EMC, and would repeal the Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments Directive 90/384/EEC. That means, all instruments used in applications for trading (e.g. weighing instruments, flowmeters in filling stations etc.) are concerned. If adopted, it would enter into force from 1 January 2000, with a transmission period until 31 December 2009. The Directive is unusual in that it leaves Member States free to decide individually for which applications they will prescribe the use of metrologically approves measuring instruments.
