§ Section 32 of the Measurement and Verification Act (MessEG)
If you wish to report the use of new or renewed measuring devices, you must do so to the competent authority. You can find out more here.
The use of new or renewed measuring devices must be reported to the competent authority. This applies, for example, if you are using a new measuring device for business or official purposes.
You are using a new or renewed measuring device that falls under the MessEG or the MessEV.
The scope of the MessEG includes, for example
- Measuring instruments for determining length or combinations of lengths for determining length or area
- Measuring instruments for the determination of mass
- Measuring instruments for the determination of temperature
- Measuring instruments for the determination of pressure
- Measuring instruments for the determination of measured quantities in the supply of electricity
- Measuring instruments for determining the amount of heat (heat and cold in circulation systems)
The obligation to notify does not apply to measuring instruments such as weights or dispensing measures and not to additional equipment.
A measuring instrument is deemed to have been renewed if it has already been put into operation and has been modified to such an extent that a (renewed) conformity assessment must be carried out instead of verification. The decision is made by the responsible verification authority.
- At least 10 weeks before expiry of validity
- In principle, all measuring devices used must be reported in accordance with MessEG and MessEV.
New or renewed measuring devices must be reported to the responsible verification office no later than six weeks after commissioning.
- Notification of the use of new or renewed measuring devices
- A measuring instrument is considered to be renewed if it has already been put into operation and has been changed so significantly that a (renewed) conformity assessment must be carried out instead of a verification. The decision is made by the competent verification authority.
