  3. Lays down conformity assessment procedures and marking obligations for manufacturers of these measuring instruments.
  4. Requires member states to ensure effective market surveillance of measuring instruments covered by the directive.

Who is affected

  • Manufacturers of electric vehicle supply equipment, compressed gas dispensers, and electricity, gas and thermal energy meters.
