Draft Measure of a General Nature No: 0111-OOP-C035-26 laying down metrological and technical requirements for specified measuring instruments, including test methods for type approval, verification and checking of specified measuring instruments: ‘instruments measuring water flow quantity’ – water meters
MEASURE OF A GENERAL NATURE number: 0111-OOP-C035-26 laying down metrological and technical requirements for specified measuring instruments, including test methods for type approval, verification and checking of specified measuring instruments: ‘instruments measuring water flow quantity’ – water meters; was adopted, published on 19 December 2025 and came into force on 3 January 2026
The regulation lays down the metrological and technical requirements for these specified measuring instruments, including the test methods for type approval and verification of specified measuring instruments – water meters. Water meters may be placed on the market and put into service in the Czech Republic as specified measuring instruments pursuant to Act No 505/1990 on metrology, as amended.

This is therefore a purpose similar to the one defining specified products – non-automatic measuring instruments and scales pursuant to Directives 2014/31/EU and 2014/32/EU. The requirements of this legislation do not apply to measuring instruments not placed on the market in the Czech Republic for the above purposes, defined by Act No 505/1990 on metrology, as amended. The purpose of this notified legislation is to lay down metrological and technical requirements for these specified measuring instruments. This legislation also stipulates tests…
