Objectives of CECIP, in particular (1):
• Promoting a high quality standard in the manufacture of
weighing instruments;
• Co-operating with the metrological services in the
establishment and amendment of the regulatory
environment;
• Reducing the technical and administrative regulations
relevant to weighing instruments to those requirements
which are necessary not to harm users;
• Ensuring harmonisation of national regulations and the use
of established international standards, in order to eliminate
barriers to cross-border trade of weighing instruments;

Objectives of CECIP, in particular (2):
• Ensuring that national and international requirements do
not prevent the development of new weighing
technologies;
• Liaising with national and international organisations and
with end users concerning all aspects of legal metrology
including consistent interpretation of requirements;
• Promoting a good understanding of modern weighing
technology, especially in developing countries;
• Ensuring fair trade practices by all weighing instrument
manufacturers worldwide.

Activities in Europe:
Commission projects:
still ongoing from last year, no new information:
1. Adoption of the "New Legislative Framework (NLF)"
to the 2 measuring instruments directives (NAWID and
MID) with additional requirements for stakeholders
2. Revision of MID with changes and additional
instruments (annexes) under discussion

Activities in Europe:
Standardisation projects:
Revision of EN45501 (harmonised standard for non-automatic
weighing instruments) to reach conformity with OIML R76:2006
possible date for official publication unclear: maybe 2014
in anticipation to this actual EMC immunity requirement will be
changed these days from 3V/m to 10V/m and higher
frequencies comparable to R76:2006
 new EC type approval certificates immediately
 putting instruments into the market not allowed any more
even with valid EC-type approval certificates after
transition period

Special activities in OIML:
1. Revision of OIML R60 (Load Cells (LC))
 requirements must be updated to requirements of R76,
R51 (EMC, span stability ........)
otherwise there is no consumption of conformity at all
when using R60 certified LC in weighing instruments
and
the sense for R60 certificates is in question

Special activities in OIML
2.1 OIML CTT (voluntary QMS under supervision of OIML)
General remarks:
• CECIP supports quality and fair competition.
Therefore CECIP supports conformity to legal
requirements in general and on a high level!
• But to judge whether a voluntary OIML CTT would be
an advantage there are several questions which have
to be answered before.

Special activities in OIML
2.2 OIML CTT (voluntary QMS under supervision of OIML)
Questions to be answered before - especially:
• OIML has no legal rights in countries. How can OIML
achieve legal consequences to achieve fair competition
in a country in case of non-compliances?
• Where is the benefit for a manufacturer to join the
OIML CTT (return on investment for his additional
costs)?

Special activities in OIML:
3.1 Recognition of manufacturer's test results
(MTL under MAA)
• 6 years discussions
• some CIML resolutions
• draft with high requirements on quality and reliability
(same or even higher than for metrology laboratories)
• positive OIML MAA audits and field tests with 2 MTLs

Special activities in OIML:
3.2 Recognition of manufacturer's test results
(MTL under MAA)
Why does CECIP think this is an important issue?

OIML

for education and qualification of
manufacturers in LM instead of control only
 chance for CTT idea because
manufacturers become able to
supervise their own production
 incentive for qualification to a
manufacturer instead of giving him
increasing costs without benefit
 chances for own economies

Special activities in OIML:
3.3 Recognition of manufacturer's test results
(MTL under MAA)
OIML
Why will manufacturers support this?
- return on investment
- better confidence in products of competitors
- chance for a global fair competition

Special activities in OIML:
3.4 Recognition of manufacturer's test results
(MTL under MAA)
OIML has to decide what they will
do with the “key to the future”
OIML
? Use it or throw it away ?
Where is the risk compared to the
chance ???
Therefore CECIP recommends CIML
• to support the draft resolutions under topic 10.3.3 at this meeting
• to implement requirements for MTLs in B10
• to approve B10 with MTLs next CIML meeting 2012
