(c) the range of flow rate or capacity of a device of that class, type or design; and

3. The notification shall include information on the kind(s) of measuring instrument(s) for which each body has been designated and, where relevant, the instrument accuracy classes, the measuring range, the measurement technology, and any other instrument characteristic limiting the scope of the notification.

However, experience has shown that in order to guarantee that a measuring instrument does not exploit the Maximum Permissible Error (MPE) and systematically favour any of the parties involved in the transaction, it is necessary to require also protection against unduly biased errors inside the controlled range of these instruments.

Instruments with one weighing range may have several partial weighing ranges (multi-interval instruments).

1. Member States shall notify to the other Member States and the Commission the bodies under their jurisdiction, which they have designated to carry out the tasks pertaining to the conformity assessment modules referred to in Article 9, together with the identification numbers given to them by the Commission in accordance with paragraph 4 of this Article, the kind(s) of measuring instrument for which each body has been designated and in addition, where relevant, the instrument accuracy classes, the measuring range, the measurement tec ...[+++]hnology, and any other instrument characteristic limiting the scope of the notification.

// Examination of the stability of the properties of pressure gauges // // The tests consist in subjecting pressure gauges to: // // (a) a pressure exceeding the upper limit of the measuring range by 25 % for 15 minutes; // // (b) 1 000 pulses produced by a pressure varying from 0 to 90-95 % of the upper limit of the measuring range; // // (c) 10 000 cycles of a pressure varying slowly from approximately 20 % to approximately 75 % of the upper limit of the measuring range at a frequency not exceeding 60 cycles per minute; // // (d) an ambient temperature of - 20 °C for six hours and a temperature of + 50 °C for six hours.
