<a id="p100171"></a>2.1.1. изучение документации и проверку измерительных характеристик образца в лаборатории метрологической службы в установленной лаборатории или месте изготовления, доставки или установки;
<a id="p100172"></a>2.1.2. если измерительные характеристики известны в деталях, то возможно проведение изучения документации.
<a id="p100173"></a>2.2. Экспертиза должна быть проведена на протяжении всей работы прибора при нормальных условиях. При таких условиях прибор должен обладать требуемыми характеристиками.
<a id="p100174"></a>2.3. Характер и масштаб проверочных мероприятий, упомянутых в пункте 2.1, должны быть установлены отдельными директивами.
<a id="p100175"></a>2.4. Метрологическая служба может потребовать от заявителя предоставить в его распоряжение стандарты и необходимые с его точки зрения материалы и вспомогательный персонал для осуществления испытаний.




<a id="p100177"></a>3.1. Сертификат должен отражать результаты проверки образца и другие требования, которые должны быть выполнены. К нему должны быть приложены описания, чертежи и диаграммы, необходимые для идентификации образца и объяснения принципов его работы. Знак утверждения типа, предусмотренный в [статье 4](https://bukva.ai/docs/direktiva-200934es/statya-4#p100064), должен быть выполнен в виде буквы "эпсилон" и содержать:
- <a id="p100178"></a>в верхней части - отличительные буквы(-у) государства-члена ЕС, выдавшего утверждение (B - Бельгия, BG - Болгария, CZ - Чешская Республика, DK - Дания, D - Германия, EST - Эстония, IRL - Ирландия, EL - Греция, E - Испания, F - Франция, I - Италия, CY - Кипр, LV - Латвия, LT - Литва, L - Люксембург, H - Венгрия, M - Мальта, NL - Нидерланды, A - Австрия, PL - Польша, P - Португалия, RO - Румыния, SI - Словения, SK - Словакия, FL - Финляндия, S - Швеция, UK - Соединенное Королевство) и две последние цифры года, когда оно выдано;
- <a id="p100179"></a>в нижней части - обозначение, которое означает метрологическую службу, которая выдала утверждение (идентификационный номер).
<a id="p100180"></a>Пример такого знака утверждения показан в пункте 6.1.
<a id="p100181"></a>3.2. В случае если утверждение имеет ограничение по времени действия, рядом с буквой "эпсилон" должна быть размещена буква P, которая имеет те же размеры.
<a id="p100182"></a>Пример такого знака временного утверждения показан в пункте 6.2.
<a id="p100183"></a>3.3. Знак, упомянутый в [статье 6](https://bukva.ai/docs/direktiva-200934es/statya-6#p100083), является тем же, что и знак утверждения ЕС, за исключением буквы "эпсилон", которая развернута симметрично своей вертикальной оси и не имеет других знаков, если отдельной директивой не предусмотрено иное.
<a id="p100184"></a>Пример такого знака временного утверждения показан в пункте 6.3.
<a id="p100185"></a>3.4. Знак, упомянутый в [статье 11](https://bukva.ai/docs/direktiva-200934es/statya-11#p100114), является тем же знаков утверждения, заключенным в шестиугольник.

Знаки, упомянутые в [пунктах 3.1](https://bukva.ai/docs/direktiva-200934es/statya-22#p100177). - [3.4](https://bukva.ai/docs/direktiva-200934es/statya-22#p100185)., наносятся изготовителем в соответствии с требованиями настоящей Директивы, а именно должны находиться на видном месте каждого прибора и вспомогательного оборудования, которые подлежат проверке, должны быть четкими и нестираемыми. Если нанесение знаков трудоемко с технической стороны, исключения могут быть предусмотрены положениями отдельных директив после достигнутого соглашения между метрологическими службами государств-членов ЕС.




<a id="p100189"></a>В случаях, предусмотренных отдельными директивами, служба, которая утвердила тип, может, если посчитает это необходимым, запросить образец утвержденного прибора для депонирования. Вместо образца прибора служба может разрешить депонирование частей прибора, масштабных моделей или чертежей и укажет это на выданном сертификате.




<a id="p100191"></a>5.1. В то же время, что и заинтересованной стороне, копии сертификата утверждения ЕС быть направлены Европейской комиссии и другим государствам-членам ЕС; последние могут получить копии протоколов метрологических исследований при необходимости.
<a id="p100192"></a>5.2. Отзыв сертификата утверждения типа ЕС и иные действия, связанные с продлением и сроком действия сертификата должны тем же образом, который описан в [пункте 5.1](https://bukva.ai/docs/direktiva-200934es/statya-22#p100191)., доводиться до тех же корреспондентов.
<a id="p100193"></a>5.3. Государство-член ЕС, отказавшееся выдавать утверждение типа, должно проинформировать другие государства-члены ЕС и Европейскую комиссию о своем решении.

<a id="p100360"></a>DIRECTIVE No. 2009/34/EC
**OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL**
**RELATING TO COMMON PROVISIONS FOR BOTH MEASURING**
**INSTRUMENTS AND METHODS OF METROLOGICAL CONTROL**
**(RECAST)**

<div align="center">

<a id="p100361"></a>(Strasbourg, 23.IV.2009)

<a id="p100362"></a>(Text with EEA relevance)

</div>


<a id="p100363"></a>The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union,
<a id="p100364"></a>Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
<a id="p100365"></a>Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
<a id="p100366"></a>Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee <*>,

<a id="p100367"></a>

---

<a id="p100368"></a><*> Opinion of 22 October 2008 (not yet published in the Official Journal).

<a id="p100369"></a>Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty <*>,

<a id="p100370"></a>

---

<a id="p100371"></a><*> Opinion of the European Parliament of 4 December 2008 (not yet published in the Official Journal) and Council Decision of 23 March 2009.

<a id="p100372"></a>Whereas:
<a id="p100373"></a>(1) Council Directive 71/316/EEC of 26 July 1971 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to common provisions for both measuring instruments and methods of metrological control <*> has been substantially amended several times <**>. Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity.

<a id="p100374"></a>

---

<a id="p100375"></a><*> OJ L 202, 6.9.1971, p. 1.
<a id="p100376"></a><**> See Annex III, Part A.

<a id="p100377"></a>(2) In each Member State, mandatory provisions determine the technical characteristics of measuring instruments and the methods of metrological control. Those requirements differ from one Member State to another. Those differences hinder trade and may create unequal conditions of competition within the Community.
<a id="p100378"></a>(3) One of the objectives of controls in each Member State is to give assurance to customers that quantities delivered correspond to the price paid. Consequently, the aim of this Directive should not be to abolish those controls but to eliminate differences between rules in so far as these constitute a hindrance to trade.
<a id="p100379"></a>(4) Those hindrances to the functioning of the internal market can be reduced and eliminated if the same requirements apply in Member States, initially complementing national provisions in force and later, when the necessary conditions exist, replacing those provisions.
<a id="p100380"></a>(5) Even during the period when they coexist with national provisions, the Community requirements will enable firms to manufacture products which have uniform technical characteristics and can therefore be marketed and used throughout the Community after they have undergone EC controls.
<a id="p100381"></a>(6) Community technical requirements for design and functioning should ensure that instruments continuously give measurements that are sufficiently accurate for their intended purpose.
<a id="p100382"></a>(7) Compliance with technical requirements is usually confirmed by Member States before measuring instruments are placed on the market or used for the first time, and where appropriate when they are in service, such confirmation being effected in particular by means of pattern approval and verification procedures. In order to achieve free movement of such instruments within the Community, it is also necessary to provide for mutual recognition of controls among Member States and to establish appropriate EC pattern approval and initial verification procedures for this purpose as well as EC methods of metrological control in accordance with this Directive and with the relevant separate Directives.
<a id="p100383"></a>(8) The presence, on a measuring instrument or a product, of signs or marks showing that it has undergone the appropriate controls indicates that such instrument or product satisfies the relevant technical requirements of the Community, and therefore that when the instrument or product is imported or put into operation it is unnecessary to repeat the controls which have already been carried out.
<a id="p100384"></a>(9) National metrological rules cover numerous categories of measuring instruments and products. This Directive lays down the general provisions dealing, in particular, with EC pattern approval and initial verification procedures, as well as EC methods of metrological control. Implementing Directives covering the various categories of instruments and products will lay down the technical requirements as to design, functioning and accuracy, the control procedures and, where appropriate, the conditions under which Community technical requirements are to replace the national provisions in force.
<a id="p100385"></a>(10) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission <*>.

<a id="p100386"></a>

---

<a id="p100387"></a><*> OJ L 184, 17.7.1999, p. 23.

<a id="p100388"></a>(11) In particular, the Commission should be empowered to amend Annexes I and II to this Directive and the annexes to the separate Directives. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive and the separate Directives, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
<a id="p100389"></a>(12) The new elements introduced into this Directive only concern the committee procedures. They therefore do not need to be transposed by the Member States.
<a id="p100390"></a>(13) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex III, Part B,
<a id="p100391"></a>Have adopted this Directive:







1. <a id="p100394"></a>This Directive shall apply to:
<a id="p100395"></a>(a) instruments as defined in paragraph 2;
<a id="p100396"></a>(b) units of measurement, the harmonisation of methods of measurement and metrological control and, where appropriate, the means required for application of such methods;
<a id="p100397"></a>(c) the prescription, methods of measurement, metrological control and marking of quantities of pre-packaged products.
2. <a id="p100398"></a>For the purpose of this Directive, "instruments" shall mean measuring instruments, components of measuring instruments, additional devices and measurement equipment.
3. <a id="p100399"></a>No Member State may, on the basis of this Directive and the separate Directives relating to it, prevent, prohibit, or restrict the placing on the market and/or entry into service of an instrument or of a product described in paragraph 1 if that instrument or product bears EC marks and/or signs in accordance with the conditions laid down in this Directive and in the separate Directives relating to the instrument or product in question.
4. <a id="p100400"></a>Member States shall attach the same value to EC pattern approval and initial verification as to the corresponding national measures.
5. <a id="p100401"></a>The separate Directives concerning the matters referred to in paragraph 1 shall specify:
- <a id="p100402"></a>in particular, the measurement procedures and characteristics of, and the technical requirements for, their design and functioning, as regards the instruments referred to in paragraph 1(a),
- <a id="p100403"></a>the requirements concerning points (b) and (c) of paragraph 1.
6. <a id="p100404"></a>The separate Directives may fix the date on which the existing national provisions are to be replaced by Community provisions.







1. <a id="p100407"></a>Member States shall grant EC pattern approval in accordance with the provisions of this Directive and of the relevant separate Directives.
2. <a id="p100408"></a>EC pattern approval of instruments shall constitute their admission to EC initial verification and, where the latter is not required, the authorisation to place them on the market and/or to put them into service. If the separate Directive(s) applicable to a category of instruments exempt(s) that category from EC pattern approval, the instruments in that category shall be admitted directly to EC initial verification.
3. <a id="p100409"></a>If their inspection equipment so permits, Member States shall grant EC pattern approval for every instrument which satisfies the requirements laid down in this Directive and the separate Directives relating to the instrument in question.
4. <a id="p100410"></a>An application for EC pattern approval may be made only by the manufacturer or his representative established within the Community. For one and the same instrument, application may be made in one Member State only.
5. <a id="p100411"></a>A Member State which has granted EC pattern approval shall take the necessary steps to ensure that it is kept informed of any modification of, or addition to, the approved pattern. It shall inform the other Member States of such alterations.
<a id="p100412"></a>Modifications of, or additions to, an approved pattern must receive additional EC pattern approval from the Member State which granted EC pattern approval, where such changes influence or might influence measurement results or the prescribed conditions for use of the instrument.
<a id="p100413"></a>However, in the case of a modified pattern, a new EC pattern approval shall be granted instead of an addition to the original EC pattern approval certificate if the pattern is modified after the provisions of this Directive or of the relevant separate Directive have been amended or adapted in such a way that the modified pattern could be approved only pursuant to the new provisions.




<a id="p100415"></a>When EC pattern approval is granted for ancillary equipment, the approval shall specify:
<a id="p100416"></a>(a) the patterns of instrument to which this equipment may be attached or in which it may be incorporated;
<a id="p100417"></a>(b) the general conditions for the overall functioning of the instruments for which it is approved.




<a id="p100419"></a>When an instrument has successfully completed the EC pattern approval examination laid down in this Directive and in the separate Directives relating to that instrument, the Member State which carried out that examination shall draw up an EC pattern approval certificate.
<a id="p100420"></a>That Member State shall forward that certificate to the applicant.
<a id="p100421"></a>In the cases provided for in Article 11 of this Directive or in a separate Directive, the applicant must, and in all other cases may, affix or cause to be affixed on each instrument conforming to the approved pattern the EC approval sign shown in the certificate.




1. <a id="p100423"></a>EC pattern approval shall be valid for 10 years. It may be extended for successive periods of 10 years. The number of instruments which may be manufactured in accordance with the approved pattern shall not be limited.
<a id="p100424"></a>EC pattern approvals granted on the basis of the provisions of this Directive and of a separate Directive may not be extended after the date of the entry into force of any amendment to, or adaptation of, those Community provisions, in cases where such EC pattern approvals could not have been granted on the basis of the new provisions.
<a id="p100425"></a>When EC pattern approval is not extended, that approval shall nevertheless continue to apply to instruments already in service.
2. <a id="p100426"></a>Where use is made of new techniques not provided for in a separate Directive, EC pattern approval with limited effect may be granted, after prior consultation of the other Member States.
<a id="p100427"></a>It may include the following restrictions:
<a id="p100428"></a>(a) a limit on the number of instruments which may be covered by the approval;
<a id="p100429"></a>(b) an obligation to notify the competent authorities of the places of installation;
<a id="p100430"></a>(c) restrictions on use;
<a id="p100431"></a>(d) special restrictions concerning the technique used.
<a id="p100432"></a>However, it may not be granted unless:
<a id="p100433"></a>(a) the separate Directive for that category of instruments has come into force;
<a id="p100434"></a>(b) no derogation has been made from the maximum permissible errors laid down in the separate Directives.
<a id="p100435"></a>The period of validity of such approval shall not exceed two years. It may be extended by up to three years.
3. <a id="p100436"></a>The Member State which has granted the limited EC pattern approval referred to in paragraph 2 shall apply for adjustment to technical progress of Annexes I and II to this Directive, where appropriate, and of the separate Directives, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 17(2), as soon as it considers that a new technique has proved to be satisfactory.




<a id="p100438"></a>When EC pattern approval is not required for a category of instruments which meets the requirements of a separate Directive, the manufacturer may, on his own responsibility, affix to the instruments in this category the special sign described in point 3.3 of Annex I.




1. <a id="p100440"></a>The Member State which has granted EC pattern approval may withdraw it:
<a id="p100441"></a>(a) if instruments for which this approval was granted do not conform to the approved pattern or to the provisions of the relevant separate Directive;
<a id="p100442"></a>(b) if the metrological requirements specified in the certificate of approval or the provisions of Article 5(2) are not met;
<a id="p100443"></a>(c) if it ascertains that approval was granted in an improper manner.
2. <a id="p100444"></a>The Member State which has granted EC pattern approval must withdraw it if the instruments constructed according to an approved pattern reveal in service a defect of a general nature which makes them unsuitable for their intended use.
3. <a id="p100445"></a>If the Member State which granted an EC pattern approval is informed by another Member State of the occurrence of one of the cases covered by paragraphs 1 and 2, it shall also take the measures provided for in those paragraphs, after consulting with that other Member State.
4. <a id="p100446"></a>The Member State which declares that the case referred to in paragraph 2 has arisen may forbid the placing on the market and putting into service of the instruments concerned until further notice.
<a id="p100447"></a>It shall immediately inform the other Member States and the Commission, stating the reasons on which its decision is based.
<a id="p100448"></a>The same procedure shall apply in the cases referred to in paragraph 1, with respect to instruments which have been exempted from EC initial verification, if the manufacturer, after due warning, does not bring the instruments into conformity with the approved pattern or with the requirements of the relevant separate Directive.
5. <a id="p100449"></a>If the Member State which granted the EC pattern approval disputes that the case referred to in paragraph 2 of which it has been informed has arisen, or disputes that the measures taken pursuant to paragraph 4 are justified, the Member States concerned shall endeavour to settle the dispute.
<a id="p100450"></a>The Commission shall be kept informed. It shall, where necessary, hold appropriate consultations with the aim of reaching a settlement.







1. <a id="p100453"></a>EC initial verification constitutes the examination of a new or reconditioned instrument and the confirmation of its conformity to the approved pattern and/or to the requirements of this Directive and the separate Directives relating to the instrument in question. It is certified by the EC initial verification mark.
2. <a id="p100454"></a>EC initial verification of instruments may be carried out by a method other than unit checking in the cases specified in the separate Directives and in accordance with the procedures adopted.
3. <a id="p100455"></a>If their equipment so permits, Member States shall carry out EC initial verification of instruments submitted as having the measurement characteristics and satisfying the technical construction and functioning requirements laid down by the separate Directives relating to that category of instruments.
4. <a id="p100456"></a>In the case of instruments bearing the EC initial verification mark, the obligation imposed on Member States under Article 1 (3) shall last until the end of the year following that in which the EC initial verification mark was affixed, unless separate Directives provide for a longer period.




1. <a id="p100458"></a>When an instrument is submitted for EC initial verification, the Member State carrying out the examination shall determine:
<a id="p100459"></a>(a) whether the instrument belongs to a category exempt from EC pattern approval and, if so, whether it satisfies the technical construction and functioning requirements laid down by the separate Directives relating to that instrument;
<a id="p100460"></a>(b) whether the instrument has received EC pattern approval and, if so, whether it conforms to the approved pattern, and to the separate Directives relating to that instrument, in force on the date of issue of that EC pattern approval.
2. <a id="p100461"></a>The examination carried out in EC initial verification relates in particular, in accordance with the separate Directives, to:
<a id="p100462"></a>(a) the metrological characteristics;
<a id="p100463"></a>(b) the maximum permissible errors;
<a id="p100464"></a>(c) the construction, in so far as this guarantees that the measurement characteristics are not likely to deteriorate to any great extent under normal conditions of use;
<a id="p100465"></a>(d) the presence of prescribed inscriptions and stamp plates or provisions for EC initial verification marking.




<a id="p100467"></a>When an instrument has successfully undergone EC initial verification, in accordance with the requirements of this Directive and of the separate Directives, the EC partial or final verification marks described in Annex II, point 3 shall be affixed to that instrument under the responsibility of the Member State concerned in accordance with the rules laid down in that point.




<a id="p100469"></a>When EC initial verification is not required for a category of instruments which meet the requirements of a separate Directive, the manufacturer shall, on his own responsibility, affix to the instruments in that category the special symbol described in point 3.4 of Annex I.







<a id="p100472"></a>Member States shall take all necessary measures to prevent the use on instruments of marks or inscriptions liable to be confused with the EC signs or marks.




<a id="p100474"></a>Each Member State shall notify the other Member States and the Commission of the services, agencies and institutes which are duly authorised to carry out the examinations provided for in this Directive and in the separate Directives, to issue the EC pattern approval certificates and to affix the EC initial verification marks.




<a id="p100476"></a>Member States may require that the prescribed inscriptions be drawn up in their official language or languages.







<a id="p100479"></a>The separate Directives shall specify the control requirements for instruments in service which bear EC signs or marks and in particular the maximum errors permitted in service. If national provisions in respect of instruments which do not bear EC signs or marks lay down less stringent requirements, the latter may serve as criteria for the controls.

Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive and the separate Directives, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 17(2).
<a id="p100483"></a>However, this procedure shall apply neither to the chapter relating to imperial units of measurement of the annex to the Directive on units of measurement nor to the annexes, concerning quantity ranges for pre-packed quantities of products, to the Directives on pre-packed products.




1. <a id="p100485"></a>The Commission shall be assisted by the Committee for Adjustment to Technical Progress of the Directives referred to in Article 16.
2. <a id="p100486"></a>Where reference is made to this paragraph, Article 5a(1) to (4) and Article 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.







<a id="p100489"></a>All decisions taken pursuant to the provisions adopted in implementation of this Directive and of the separate Directives on the instruments in question and refusing to grant or extend EC pattern approval, withdrawing such approval, refusing to carry out EC initial verification or prohibiting placing on the market or entry into service shall state the reasons on which they are based. Such refusal, withdrawal or prohibition shall be notified to the party concerned, who shall at the same time be informed of the remedies available to him under the laws in force in the Member States and of the time limits allowed for the exercise of such remedies.




<a id="p100491"></a>Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.




<a id="p100493"></a>Directive 71/316/EEC, as amended by the acts listed in Annex III, Part A, is repealed, without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex III, Part B.
<a id="p100494"></a>References to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to this Directive and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex IV.




<a id="p100496"></a>This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.




<a id="p100498"></a>This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

- <a id="p100589"></a>in the lower half, the identification number of the verifying agent or office;
<a id="p100590"></a>(b) the second stamp shall consist of the last two digits of the year of the verification, in a hexagon;
<a id="p100591"></a>3.1.1.2. the mark of EC partial verification shall consist solely of the first stamp. It shall also serve as a seal.



<a id="p100593"></a>3.2.1. The attached drawings <*> show the shape, dimensions and outline of the letters and numbers for the EC initial verification marks as laid down in point 3.1; the first two drawings show the various parts of the stamp and the third is an example of a stamp. The dimensions given in the drawings are relative values; they are a function of the diameter of the circle described about the lower-case letter "e" and about the field of the hexagon.

<a id="p100594"></a>

---

<a id="p100595"></a><*> Рисунки не приводятся.

<a id="p100596"></a>The actual diameters of the circles described about the marks are 1,6 mm, 3,2 mm, 6,3 mm, 12,5 mm.
<a id="p100597"></a>3.2.2. The metrological services of Member States shall mutually exchange the original drawings of the EC initial verification marks, conforming to the models in the annexed drawings.



<a id="p100599"></a>3.3.1. The final EC verification mark shall be affixed at the appointed location on the instrument when the latter has been completely verified and is recognised to conform to EC requirements.

##### <a id="p100600"></a>3.3.2 The partial EC verification mark shall be affixed:

<a id="p100601"></a>3.3.2.1. when verification is made in several stages, on the instrument or part of an instrument which fulfils the conditions laid down for operations other than those at the place of installation, at the place where the stamp-date is affixed or in any other place specified in the separate Directives;
<a id="p100602"></a>3.3.2.2. in all cases as a seal, in the places specified in the separate Directives.
