Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Zähler, bei denen das Messelement und das/die Zählwerke im selben Gehäuse untergebracht sind.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Zähler mit und ohne eingebaute Temperaturumwertung, die an Aufstellungsorten, die in geringem Ausmaß Schwingungen und Erschütterungen ausgesetzt sind, und
   an geschlossenen Aufstellungsorten (in Gebäuden oder im Freien mit vom Hersteller vorgeschriebenem Schutz) mit Betauung oder mit betauungsfreier Feuchte,
   oder, falls vom Hersteller angegeben,
   an offenen Aufstellungsorten (im Freien ohne Abdeckung) mit Betauung oder mit betauungsfreier Feuchte
