SCHEDULE 1A A regulated measuring instrument shall provide a high level of metrological protection in order that any party affected can have confidence in the result of measurement, and shall be designed and manufactured to a high level of quality in respect of the measurement technology and security of the measurement data. The essential requirements that shall be met by regulated measuring instruments are set out below and are supplemented, where appropriate, by instrument-specific requirements in Schedules 1C to 1J that provide more detail on certain aspects of the general requirements. The solutions adopted in the pursuit of the essential requirements shall take account of the intended use of the instrument and any foreseeable misuse thereof. DEFINITIONS
| Measurand | The measurand is the particular quantity subject to measurement |
|---|---|
| Influence quantity | An influence quantity is a quantity that is not the measurand but that affects the result of measurement. |
| Rated Operating Conditions | The rated operating conditions are the values for the measurand and influence quantities making up the normal working conditions of an instrument. |
| Disturbance | An influence quantity having a value within the limits specified in the appropriate requirement but outside the specified rated operating conditions of the regulated measuring instrument. An influence quantity is a disturbance if for that influence quantity the rated operating conditions are not specified. |
| Critical change value | The critical change value is the value at which the change in the measurement result is considered undesirable. |
| Material Measure | A material measure is a device intended to reproduce or supply in a permanent manner during its use one or more known values of a given quantity. |
| Direct sales | A trading transaction is direct sales if:— the measurement result serves as the basis for the price to pay; and— at least one of the parties involved in the transaction related to measurement is a consumer or any other party requiring a similar level of protection; and— all the parties in the transaction accept the measurement result at that time and place. |
| Climatic environments | Climatic environments are the conditions in which regulated measuring instruments may be used. To cope with climatic differences, a range of temperature limits has been defined. |
| Utility | A utility is regarded as a supplier of electricity, gas or water. |
ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS (1) (1) Under rated operating conditions and in the absence of a disturbance, the error of measurement shall not exceed the maximum permissible error (MPE) value as laid down in the appropriate instrument-specific requirements. Unless stated otherwise in the instrument-specific Schedules, MPE is expressed as a bilateral value of the deviation from the true measurement value. (1) Under rated operating conditions and in the presence of a disturbance, the performance requirement shall be as laid down in the appropriate instrument-specific requirements. Where the instrument is intended to be used in a specified permanent continuous electromagnetic field the permitted performance during the radiated electromagnetic field-amplitude modulated test shall be within MPE. (1) The manufacturer shall specify the climatic, mechanical and electromagnetic environments in which the instrument is intended to be used, power supply and other influence quantities likely to affect its accuracy, taking account of the requirements laid down in the appropriate instrument-specific Schedules. (1) Climatic environments The manufacturer shall specify the upper temperature limit and the lower temperature limit from any of the values in Table 1 unless otherwise specified in Schedules 1C to 1J and indicate whether the instrument is designed for condensing or non-condensing humidity as well as the intended location for the instrument, i.e. open or closed.
| Temperature Limits | Temperature Limits | Temperature Limits | Temperature Limits | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upper temperature limit | 30 oC | 40 oC | 55 oC | 70 oC |
| Lower temperature limit | 5 oC | -10 oC | -25 oC | -40 oC |
(1) (a) Mechanical environments are classified into classes M1 to M3 as described below.
| M1 | This class applies to instruments used in locations with vibration and shocks of low significance, e.g. for instruments fastened to light supporting structures subject to negligible vibrations and shocks transmitted from local blasting or pile-driving activities, slamming doors, etc. |
|---|---|
| M2 | This class applies to instruments used in locations with significant or high levels of vibration and shock, e.g. transmitted from machines and passing vehicles in the vicinity or adjacent to heavy machines, conveyor belts, etc. |
| M3 | This class applies to instruments used in locations where the level of vibration and shock is high and very high, e.g. for instruments mounted directly on machines, conveyor belts, etc. |
(b) The following influence quantities shall be considered in relation with mechanical environments: - — vibration - — mechanical shock(1) (a) Electromagnetic environments are classified into classes E1, E2 or E3 as described below, unless otherwise laid down in the appropriate instrument-specific Schedules.
| E1 | This class applies to instruments used in locations with electromagnetic disturbances corresponding to those likely to be found in residential, commercial and light industrial buildings. |
|---|---|
| E2 | This class applies to instruments used in locations with electromagnetic disturbances corresponding to those likely to be found in other industrial buildings. |
| E3 | This class applies to instruments supplied by the battery of a vehicle. Such instruments shall comply with the requirements of E2 and the following additional requirements:— voltage reductions caused by energising the starter-motor circuits of internal combustion engines,— load dump transients occurring in the event of a discharged battery being disconnected while the engine is running. |
