2014/32/EU - Directive 2014/32/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of measuring instruments Harmonized Directive
Directive 2014/32/EU harmonizes the laws of EU Member States concerning the making available on the market of measuring instruments. It recasts Directive 2004/22/EC to improve clarity and adapt to regulatory frameworks such as Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 on accreditation and market surveillance, and Decision No 768/2008/EC on marketing products. The Directive applies to new measuring instruments introduced in the EU, including those manufactured within the EU or imported. It sets common performance and conformity assessment requirements to ensure high levels of public interest protection, including health, safety, consumer protection, and fair trading. The Directive mandates CE marking and supplementary metrology marking as proof of conformity and establishes the responsibilities of manufacturers, importers, and distributors throughout the supply chain. It also establishes rules for conformity assessment bodies, including their notification and oversight, to guarantee consistent quality across the Union. Market surveillance and enforcement mechanisms are strengthened to prevent non-compliant instruments from entering the market, promoting the free movement of compliant measuring instruments within the EU.
Purpose
Directive 2014/32/EU aims to harmonize the laws of EU Member States relating to the making available on the market of measuring instruments. This recast directive replaces the earlier Directive 2004/22/EC to clarify and update provisions for measuring instruments within the EU. It seeks to ensure that measuring instruments placed on the EU market - whether new, made within the Union, or imported from third countries - meet common essential requirements related to public interest concerns such as health, safety, consumer protection, fair trade, environmental protection, and taxation.
The directive supports free movement of these instruments in the internal market by setting harmonized performance and conformity assessment requirements. It also establishes obligations for economic operators along the supply chain and defines procedures to guarantee market surveillance and compliance assurance, ensuring legal metrological control without creating unjustified trade barriers.
Key obligations
Conformity assessment: Manufacturers must carry out conformity assessment procedures to confirm that measuring instruments comply with the essential performance requirements. They are responsible for drawing up an EU declaration of conformity and affixing both the CE marking and a supplementary metrology marking to applicable instruments.
Roles of economic operators: Importers and distributors share responsibilities to ensure that only compliant measuring instruments are placed on the market. Importers must verify conformity assessment has been performed, keep documentation available, and indicate their name and contact details on the instruments. Distributors must handle instruments with due care to maintain conformity.
Market surveillance and cooperation: Member States must enact legal metrological controls and coordinate market surveillance activities to prevent non-compliant instruments from being marketed or used. Economic operators are expected to support authorities by providing the necessary information upon request.
Notified conformity assessment bodies: Bodies performing conformity assessments for certain instruments must be notified by Member States according to strict criteria to ensure uniform high performance. Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 on accreditation and market surveillance is complementary.
Traceability: Economic operators are required to maintain identification and traceability of measuring instruments throughout the supply chain to facilitate market surveillance.
Optionality principle: Member States retain the right to decide whether to prescribe the use of instruments covered by this directive.
Use of harmonized standards: Compliance with harmonized standards or internationally agreed normative documents gives rise to a presumption of conformity, though their use is optional.
Affected products and actors
Measuring instruments: The directive applies to newly placed measuring instruments on the EU market, including new instruments made inside the Union and new or second-hand instruments imported from third countries. Examples include utility meters (water, gas, electricity), weighing instruments, measuring instruments used in various industries, and gas and electricity meters.
Economic operators: Manufacturers, importers, distributors, and any party placing measuring instruments on the market under their own name or modifying them.
Conformity assessment bodies: Organizations notified by Member States to carry out conformity assessment procedures as laid down in the directive.
Market surveillance authorities: National authorities responsible for market surveillance and enforcement actions concerning measuring instruments.
Implementation timeline
- The directive entered into force on 20 April 2014.
- Member States were required to bring into force the laws, regulations, and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the directive by 30 October 2016.
- The directive applies fully from this date, including all obligations regarding conformity assessment, market surveillance, and CE marking.
- Transitional provisions allowed for gradual adaptation from earlier Directive 2004/22/EC to this recast once introduced.
In summary, Directive 2014/32/EU creates a unified regulatory framework establishing essential requirements, conformity assessment procedures, market surveillance, and responsibilities of economic operators to facilitate the free movement and safe use of measuring instruments within the European Union.
Directive 2014/32/EU applies to measuring instruments that are new to the Union market when placed on the market. This includes new measuring instruments manufactured within the Union as well as new or second-hand instruments imported from third countries. The directive covers measuring instruments used for various measurement tasks essential to public interest objectives such as public health, safety, environmental protection, consumer protection, taxation, and fair trade.

IEC 60079-10-1:2020 is concerned with the classification of areas where flammable gas or vapour hazards may arise and may then be used as a basis to support the proper design, construction, operation and maintenance of equipment for use in hazardous areas.
It is intended to be applied where there may be an ignition hazard due to the presence of flammable gas or vapour, mixed with air, but it does not apply to:
a) mines susceptible to firedamp;
b) the processing and manufacture of explosives;
c) catastrophic failures or rare malfunctions which are beyond the concept of normality dealt with in this standard;
d) rooms used for medical purposes;
e) domestic premises;
f) where a hazard may arise due to the presence of combustible dusts or combustible flyings but the principles may be used in assessment of a hybrid mixture.
Flammable mists may form or be present at the same time as flammable vapour. In such case the strict application of the details in this document may not be appropriate. Flammable mists may also form when liquids not considered to be a hazard due to the high flash point are released under pressure. In these cases the classifications and details given in this document do not apply.
For the purpose of this document, an area is a three-dimensional region or space.
Atmospheric conditions include variations above and below reference levels of 101,3 kPa (1 013 mbar) and 20 °C (293 K), provided that the variations have a negligible effect on the explosion properties of the flammable substances.
In any site, irrespective of size, there may be numerous sources of ignition apart from those associated with equipment. Appropriate precautions will be necessary to ensure safety in this context. This standard is applicable with judgement for other ignition sources but in some applications other safeguards may also need to be considered. E.g. larger distances may apply for naked flames when considering hot work permits.
This document does not take into account the consequences of ignition of an explosive atmosphere except where a zone is so small that if ignition did occur it would have negligible consequences.
This third edition of IEC 60079-10-1 cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2015, and constitutes a technical revision, see foreword for further details.

IEC 61000-4-3:2020 is applicable to the immunity requirements of electrical and electronic equipment to radiated electromagnetic energy. It establishes test levels and the required test procedures. The object of this document is to establish a common reference for evaluating the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to radiated, radio-frequency electromagnetic fields. The test method documented in this part of IEC 61000 describes a consistent method to assess the immunity of an equipment or system against RF electromagnetic fields from RF sources not in close proximity to the EUT. The test environment is specified in Clause 6. NOTE 1 As described in IEC Guide 107, this is a basic EMC publication for use by product committees of the IEC. As also stated in Guide 107, the IEC product committees are responsible for determining whether this immunity test standard should be applied or not, and if applied, they are responsible for determining the appropriate test levels and performance criteria. TC 77 and its sub-committees are prepared to co-operate with product committees in the evaluation of the value of particular immunity tests for their products. NOTE 2 Immunity testing against RF sources in close proximity to the EUT is defined in IEC 61000-4-39. Particular considerations are devoted to the protection against radio-frequency emissions from digital radiotelephones and other RF emitting devices. NOTE 3 Test methods are defined in this part for evaluating the effect that electromagnetic radiation has on the equipment concerned. The simulation and measurement of electromagnetic radiation is not adequately exact for quantitative determination of effects. The test methods defined in this basic document have the primary objective of establishing an adequate reproducibility of testing configuration and repeatability of test results at various test facilities. This document is an independent test method. It is not possible to use other test methods as substitutes for claiming compliance with this document. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2006, Amendment 1:2007 and Amendment 2:2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- testing using multiple test signals has been described;
- additional information on EUT and cable layout has been added;
- the upper frequency limitation has been removed to take account of new services;
- the characterization of the field as well as the checking of power amplifier linearity of the immunity chain are specified.

This document specifies a test method for assessing the resistance of paint coatings and varnishes (including wood stains) to separation from substrates when a right-angle lattice pattern is cut into the coating, penetrating through to the substrate. The property determined by this empirical test procedure depends, among other factors, on the adhesion of the coating to either the preceding coat or the substrate. This procedure is not, however, a means of measuring adhesion.
NOTE 1 Where a measurement of adhesion is required, see the method described in ISO 4624.
NOTE 2 Although the test is primarily intended for use in the laboratory, the test is also suitable for field testing.
The method described can be used either as a pass/fail test or, where circumstances are appropriate, as a six-step classification test. When applied to a multi-coat system, assessment of the resistance to separation of individual layers of the coating from each other can be made.
The test can be carried out on finished objects and/or on specially prepared test specimens.
Although the method is applicable to paint on hard (e.g. metal) and soft (e.g. wood and plaster) substrates, these different substrates need a different test procedure (see Clause 8).
The method is not suitable for coatings of total thickness greater than 250 µm or for textured coatings.
NOTE 3 The method, when applied to coatings designed to give a rough patterned surface, will give results which will show too much variation (see also ISO 16276-2).

Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.
Directive 2014/32/EU covers "Directive 2014/32/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of measuring instruments". This legislation has harmonized European standards (hENs) that provide a presumption of conformity with its essential requirements. There are 195 standards associated with this directive.
Harmonized standards under 2014/32/EU are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 2014/32/EU, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
