Introduction

Presentation Scope: Legal Metrology Oil (and Gas)

Post-war:

National Legislation

Parallel European Track:

- 1970’s: EEC Directives (mechanical devices)

- Late 1970’s: Metro Directive (attempt further harmonisation)

1990’s: OIML (National implementation)

2006: MID (Measuring Instruments Directive)

2016: End of Transition Period (end of older approaches)

Legal Background,

Past & Present

6

Outline Old Legislation

Meter Oriented

Detailed

Technology dependent

National, potentially non-harmonised

7

Meaning …

Ignoring System Effects

Clear, but restrictive

Certificate valid in one country

Example NL before 1998:

Coriolis meters only by Dispensation

Same for Ultrasonic Gas meters

MID Outline

Generic style: “must be suitable for use”

Measuring System Approach

Details in updateable documents

EU-wide

Multiple routes to Conformity

Note: Similar approach: Atex, PED, EMC, etc.

9

Meaning

Competition between NoBo’s

Interpretation “room”

Flexibility for Manufacturer

Less legislative “maintenance”

MID Scope vs. National

MID:

10 types of Instruments; Oil & Gas (MI-005 & MI-002)

Start-up (e.g. Type Approval, Initial Verification)

Horse sense

Not as complicated as it seems

More flexibility

Options through various Norms,

Standards, requirements

Every state member has their

own rules
