Due to the market requirements:

Gas Analysers manufacturers typically produceand/or sell also Smoke Meters, Brake Testers,

MID affects only a part of the business

Remove barriers to trade in measuring instruments

Harmonisation of metrological regulations

NATIONAL TEST PROCEDURES !!!

Workaround:

Legally Relevant Software (OIML R99) Non Legally Relevant Software (96/96/EC)

(Welmec 7.2, Extension S: Software Separation)


13/25


Results:

the legaluses of the Gas Analyser:

Roadworthiness Test Emissions Control

are out of the MID scope, being handled by the Non LegallyRelevant part of the software;

the Non Legally Relevant part of the software is ruled by

national regulations and requires national approvals.
