What changed

Recital 2: (2) The scope and the associated essential requirements covered by Directive 2014/32/EU were already established by Directive 2004/22/EC3 , of which Directive 2014/32/EU is a recast. Thus, they have remained unchanged for more than 20 years. In the meantime, new measuring instruments have appeared on the market that are not covered by Directive 2014/32/EU. That is notably the case for electric vehicle supply equipment and compressed gas dispensers, which are important for the successful rollout of clean mobility. Moreover, Directive 2014/32/EU does not cover thermal energy meters for cooling applications. In addition, as far as electricity and gas meters are concerned, Directive 2014/32/EU neither covers the use of hydrogen and other gases that can be used as alternatives to more traditional gases, nor enables to take full advantage of smart metering which plays an important role in achieving the Union climate objectives. Therefore, it is appropriate to amend the scope of Directive 2014/32/EU and the essential requirements set out in the Annexes to that Directive in order to take into account technological progress. It is important that further amendments, particularly in response to technological developments such as those affecting water meters, are considered in a future revision of Directive 2014/32/EU. It is important that such a revision aims to assess whether the essential requirements for these measuring instruments remain appropriate to ensure high metrological perfo…

Annex I – paragraph 1 – point 2, Annex I – point 10.2: ʻ10.2. The indication of any result shall be unequivocally clear and unambiguous, protected against accidental deletion or modification, and accompanied by all marks and inscriptions necessary to inform the user of the significance of the result. Effortless reading of the presented result shall be permitted under normal conditions of use. Additional indications may be shown provided they cannot be confused, under any circumstances, with the metrologically controlled indications.ʼ

Annex I – paragraph 1 – point 3, Annex I – point 10.7: 10.7. By way of derogation from point 10.4., for measuring systems for EVSE used for direct sales and measuring systems for compressed gas dispensers, the measurement data shall be fully established in a device or a system, including cloud-based systems, so that it can be immediately presented to the consumer.

A gas meter does not measure energy.

Annex III – paragraph 1 – point 1, Annex V: An active electrical energy meter is an instrument measuring the active electrical energy consumed and delivered in an electrical circuit.;

Annex I – paragraph 1 – point 3, Annex I – point 10.8: 10.8. By way of derogation from point 10.4., measuring systems for EVSE used for direct sales shall present the measurement result to all parties in the transaction when installed as intended.

The revised definition with “consumed and delivered in an electrical circuit” ensures clarity and alignment with the actual function of active electrical energy meters. The new wording describes the measurement of energy entering and leaving an electrical circuit, avoiding ambiguity and ensuring consistent interpretation across Member States.

Annex IV, ANNEX Va – point 1 – sparagraph 1: The manufacturer shall specify the class index of the measuring system for EVSE. The class indices are defined as: Class X, Y and Z.

Annex IV, ANNEX Va – introductory part: The relevant requirements of Annex I, the specific requirements of this Annex and the conformity assessment procedures listed in this Annex apply to measuring systems for EVSE intended for residential, commercial and light industrial use, unless specified otherwise.

The amendment replaces the class indices A, B, and C with X, Y, and Z to avoid confusion with existing accuracy classes used for other types of measuring instruments under the directive. This change ensures clear differentiation between the classification system for EVSE measuring systems and that of conventional utility meters, which use the same letter designations.

Annex IV, ANNEX Va – paragraph 3: Measuring systems for EVSE may use separately type approved meters to obtain metrology data, provided that the meters comply with the applicable metering standards under this Directive, meeting or exceeding the accuracy and reliability requirements of the measuring system.
