    The company has implemented a quality system for the production, output inspection and testing of meters according to module D of Directive 2014/32/EU (MID), which has been certified by a notified body 1383 (CMI) since 2007.

    Metrological center (MC)

    Provides metMeasuringrological order in the company, monitors calibration deadlines, performs internal calibrations and tests of meters.

     

     

     

     

    Qualification

    A quality management system has been developed in the metrology department, which is regularly audited by the Czech Metrology Institute. The EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard is applied for laboratory procedures and quality manuals.

    The accuracy of measurements in laboratories is regularly proven by participation in a two-way interlaboratory comparison, in which all laboratories of the metrology department participate.

    a) Laboratories

    The air temperature in the laboratories is kept within the prescribed limits by means of an air-conditioning device. The reference conditions of the environment are monitored in the laboratory: temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity. 

    b) Measuring equipment

    c) Methods

    Electronic volume converters and gas meters are tested according to  validated internal regulations, which contain an analysis of the calculation of uncertainties and comply with the principles set out in the regulations:

    • 0111-OOP-C032-13 (Electronic Volume Convertes),
    • 0111-OOP-C007-09 (Diaphragm Gas Meters),
    • 0111-OOP-C031-13 (Turbine and Rotary Gas Meters).

    An automated process is applied for measurement.
