The Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) covers a number of different measuring instrument types including gas and electricity meters. Where meters are subject to regulation they must now comply with European Standards set out in the Directive. This consultation addresses the Statutory Instruments designed to implement the Measuring Instruments Directive in relation to Gas and Electricity meters. The consultation is aimed at those who will need to comply with the Regulations – namely manufacturers, enforcement officers and end users, but we welcome views from all those who are interested in our proposals.
