A requirement for the inspection of heat meters used to allocate energy costs fairly in buildings heated by central heating systems has been introduced. The Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology’s Heat Meter Inspection Regulation has been published in the Official Gazette. The Regulation sets out the procedures and principles regarding the repair, maintenance, calibration, inspection and stamping of heat meters used to allocate energy costs in buildings heated by central heating systems, as well as the certification of premises providing these services and the personnel working there. Accordingly, meters will be subject to initial inspection, periodic inspection, spot inspection, complaint inspection and stock inspection. All components of meters to be placed on the market, including their software, that could affect measurement results will be secured mechanically or electronically. Inspection procedures following the placing of meters on the market shall be carried out by the user at service centres providing authorised inspection station services for Atlas Meters. Service centres carrying out repairs, maintenance, calibration, inspection and stamping, as well as the technical personnel working at these centres, shall be certified by the Ministry.
