This document specifies ranges, construction, performances, output characteristics and testing of rotary displacement gas meters (hereinafter referred to as RD meters or simply meters) for gas volume measurement.
This document applies to rotary displacement gas meters used to measure the volume of fuel gases of at least the 1st, 2nd and 3rd gas families, the composition of which is specified in EN 437:2021, at a maximum working pressure up to and including 20 bar over an ambient and gas temperature range of at least −10 °C to +40 °C.
This document applies to meters that are installed in locations with vibration and shocks of low significance (class M1) and in
-   closed locations (indoor or outdoor with protection) with condensing or with non-condensing humidity
or,
-   open locations (outdoor without any covering) with condensing humidity or with non-condensing humidity,
and in locations with electromagnetic disturbances (class E1 and E2). The standard applies to mechanical meters with mechanical index, electronic devices are not covered by this standard.
Unless otherwise specified in this standard:
-   all pressures used are gauge;
-   all influence quantities, except the one under test, are kept relatively constant at their reference value.
This document applies to meters with a maximum allowable pressure PS and the volume V of less than 6 000 bar · L or with a product of PS and DN of less than 3 000 bar.
This document is to be used for both pattern approval and individual meter testing. Cross-reference tables are given in:
-   Annex A for the tests that need to be undertaken for pattern approval;
-   Annex B for individual meter testing.
Some parts of this standard cover meters with mechanical index only.
The risk philosophy adopted in this standard is based on the analysis of hazards including pressure. The standard applies principles to eliminate or reduce hazards. Where these hazards cannot be eliminated appropriate protection measures are specified.

This document specifies the metrological and technical requirements for water meters for cold potable water and hot water flowing through a fully charged, closed conduit. These water meters incorporate devices which indicate the accumulated volume.
In addition to water meters based on mechanical principles, this document applies to devices based on electrical or electronic principles, and mechanical principles incorporating electronic devices, used to measure the volume of cold potable water and hot water.
This document also applies to electronic ancillary devices. Ancillary devices are optional. However, it is possible for national or regional regulations to render some ancillary devices mandatory in relation to the utilization of water meters.
NOTE            Any national regulations apply in the country of use.

This document is applicable to the type evaluation and initial verification testing of water meters for cold potable water and hot water as defined in ISO 4064-1:2024|OIML R 49‑1:2024. OIML Certificates of conformity can be issued for water meters under the scope of the OIML Certificate System, provided that this document, ISO 4064-1:2024|OIML R 49‑1:2024 and ISO 4064-3:2024|OIML R 49‑3:2024 are used in accordance with the rules of the system.
This document sets out details of the test programme, principles, equipment and procedures to be used for the type evaluation, and initial verification of a meter type.
The provisions of this document also apply to ancillary devices, if required by national regulations.
The provisions include requirements for testing the complete water meter and for testing the measurement transducer (including the flow or volume sensor) and the calculator (including the indicating device) of a water meter as separate units.

Frequently Asked Questions

A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.

M/626 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION of 28.7.2026 on a standardisation request to the European Committee for Standardization, to the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization and to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute as regards certain measuring instruments in support of Directive 2014/32/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council". COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION of 28.7.2026 on a standardisation request to the European Committee for Standardization, to the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization and to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute as regards certain measuring instruments in support of Directive 2014/32/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council There are 6 standards developed under this mandate.

Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
