Directive 2014/32/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of measuring instruments (recast) (Text with EEA relevance) (c. 32)

ANNEX VII U.K.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS U.K.

5. Suitability U.K.

5.1. For any measured quantity relating to the same measurement, the indications provided by various devices shall not deviate one from another by more than one scale interval where devices have the same scale interval. In the case where the devices have different scale intervals, the deviation shall not be more than that of the greatest scale interval. U.K.

However, in the case of a self-service arrangement the scale intervals of the main indicating device on the measuring system and the scale intervals of the self-service device shall be the same and results of measurement shall not deviate one from another.

5.2. It shall not be possible to divert the measured quantity in normal conditions of use unless it is readily apparent. U.K.

5.3. Any percentage of air or gas not easily detectable in the liquid shall not lead to a variation of error greater than: U.K.

• 0,5 % for liquids other than potable liquids and for liquids of a viscosity not exceeding 1 mPa.s, or

• 1 % for potable liquids and for liquids of a viscosity exceeding 1 mPa.s.

However, the allowed variation shall never be smaller than 1 % of MMQ. This value applies in the case of air or gas pockets.

5.4. Instruments for direct sales U.K.

5.4.1. A measuring system for direct sales shall be provided with means for resetting the display to zero. U.K.

It shall not be possible to divert the measured quantity.

5.4.2. The display of the quantity on which the transaction is based shall be permanent until all parties in the transaction have accepted the measurement result. U.K.

5.4.3. Measuring systems for direct sales shall be interruptible. U.K.

5.4.4. Any percentage of air or gas in the liquid shall not lead to a variation of error greater than the values specified in point 5.3. U.K.

5.5. Fuel Dispensers U.K.

5.5.1. Displays on fuel dispensers shall not be capable of being reset to zero during a measurement. U.K.

5.5.2. The start of a new measurement shall be inhibited until the display has been reset to zero. U.K.

5.5.3. Where a measuring system is fitted with a price display, the difference between the indicated price and the price calculated from the unit price and the indicated quantity shall not exceed the price corresponding to E_min. However this difference need not be less than the smallest monetary value. U.K.
