Foreword
This document (CEN/TR 15760:2010) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 176 “Heat
meters”, the secretariat of which is held by SIS.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The 2007 edition of EN 1434 was written to be harmonized to MID. After the CEN consultant has given a
positive assessment for this standard it is referred in the EU Official Journal (published 2007-07-14) as a
standard harmonized to MID. The following checklist shows the most important explanations to this
harmonisation work under the scope how the requirements coming from MID are complied by EN 1434:2007.

1 Scope
This Technical Report constitutes a checklist to show the appropriate coverage of the relevant Essential
Requirements for Heat Meters in the Measuring Instrument Directive 2004/22/EC with the technical solutions
in EN 1434:2007.
The checklist indicates that in EN 1434 you have standardized solutions that:
 are one way of showing conformity to the MID;
 make it possible to combine sub-assemblies of different brands;
 make it possible to replace an installed sub-assembly with a sub-assembly of another brand.
2 General explanations
MID and EN 1434 have not only metrological requirements, but also other requirements that help the user to
obtain a correct measuring result without unreasonable demands. In the MID this is expressed as essential
requirements.
Following EN 1434 means that the signal interfaces and the relevant part of the dimensions between sub-
assemblies are standardized to ensure that you can use a mixture of sub-assemblies from different
manufacturers. It also means that you in an installation can replace a unit with a new unit from another
manufacturer that follows EN 1434. In this sense this EN standard gives defaults about the conditions and
technical contents for the compatibility between sub-assemblies from different manufacturers. This checklist
shows with the tables under Clauses 4 and 5 how the compliance with the requirements according to Article
4(b) in MID are provided by following the EN standard.
If the meter does not follow that standardization in EN 1434, the EC type examination certificate must have
another information about how the sub-assemblies are compatible and replaceable with other sub-assemblies.
This checklist is helpful for conformity assessments to ensure that the essential and specific requirements of
the MID are fulfilled by the meter or its sub-assemblies, i.e.:
MID Annex I, 7.2
A measuring instrument shall be suitable for its intended use taking account of the practical working conditions
and shall not require unreasonable demands of the user in order to obtain a correct measurement result.
MID Annex I, 7.5
A measuring instrument shall be robust and its materials of construction shall be suitable for the conditions in
which it is intended to be used.
MID Annex B Clause 3
... This supporting evidence shall mention any relevant documents that have been applied, in particular where
the relevant documents referred to in Article 13 have not been applied in full, .
MID Annex B, 4.3
The notified body shall for the specimens carry out the appropriate examinations and tests, or have them
carried out, to check whether, where the manufacturer has chosen not to apply the solutions in the relevant
documents referred to in Article 13, the solutions adopted by the manufacturer meet the corresponding
essential requirements of this Directive.

MID Annex B, 5.2
... The certificate or its annexes shall contain all relevant information for conformity evaluation and in-service
control.
in the case of a sub-assembly, all necessary information to ensure the compatibility with other sub-assemblies
or measuring instruments
MID Annex MI 004 Clause 7
The provisions for sub-assemblies may apply to sub-assemblies manufactured by the same or different
manufacturers.
The following explanations show how the demands given by MID are complied by the EN 1434:2007 standard.
3 Text of Annex ZA in EN 1434:2007
Annex ZA
Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of EU Directive
2004/22/EC, MID
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission to
provide a means of conforming to Essential Requirements of the New Approach Directive 2004/22/EC on
measuring instruments.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Communities under that Directive and has
been implemented as a national standard in at least one Member State, compliance with all the normative
clauses in Parts 1, 2, 4 and 5 of this standard confers, within the limits of the scope of this standard, a
presumption of conformity with the relevant Essential Requirements of that Directive and associated EFTA
regulations.
WARNING — Other requirements and other EU Directives may be applicable to the product(s) falling within
the scope of this standard.
NOTE A corresponding Annex is included in EN 1434 Parts 1, 2, 4 and 5.
