This document does not cover measures for the detection and prevention of fraudulent attempts to compromise
meter’s performance (tampering).
NOTE 7 Nevertheless, specific tampering detection and prevention requirements, and test methods, as relevant for a
particular market are subject to the agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
NOTE 8 Specifying requirements and test methods for fraud detection and prevention would be counterproductive, as
such specifications would provide guidance for potential fraudsters.
NOTE 9 There are many types of meter tampering reported from various markets; therefore, designing meters to detect
and prevent all types of tampering could lead to unjustified increase in costs of meter design, verification and validation.
NOTE 10 Billing systems, such as smart metering systems, are capable of detecting irregular consumption patterns and
irregular network losses which enable discovery of suspected meter tampering.
NOTE 11 For transformer operated meters paired with current transformers (CTs) according to EN 61869-2: the standard
CT measuring range is specified from 0,05 I to I for accuracy classes 0,1, 0,2, 0,5 and 1 and these CTs are used for

a) The scale interval for a measured value shall be in the form 1 × 10 , 2 × 10 , or 5 × 10 , where n is any
integer or zero. The unit of measurement or its symbol shall be shown close to the numerical value.
b) The indication of any result shall be clear and unambiguous and accompanied by such marks and
inscriptions necessary to inform the user of the significance of the result. Easy reading of the presented
result shall be permitted under normal conditions of use. Additional indications may be shown provided
they cannot be confused with the metrologically controlled indications.
NOTE 1 Metrologically relevant information on the display requires an unambiguous identification of the way it is defined.
The user manual could provide additional details.
NOTE 2 The mechanical tests specified in EN IEC 62052-11:2021/A11:2022 are deemed to provide evidence for
compliance with the M1 and M2 requirements (see 2014/32/EU, Measuring Instruments Directive), if the meter after the
tests shows no damage or change of the information and operates correctly in accordance with the requirements of
EN IEC 62052-11:2021/A11:2022. As static meters have no moving parts, it is sufficient to perform metrological tests after
the mechanical tests only.

1 Scope
This document applies only to static watt-hour meters of accuracy classes A, B and C for the measurement of
alternating current electrical active energy in 50 Hz or 60 Hz networks and it applies to their type tests only.
NOTE 1 For general requirements, such as construction, EMC, safety, dependability etc., see the relevant EN 62052
series or EN 62059 series.
This document applies to electricity metering equipment designed to:
— measure and control electrical energy on electrical networks (mains) with voltage up to 1 000 V AC;
NOTE 2 For AC electricity meters, the voltage mentioned above is the line-to-neutral voltage derived from nominal
voltages. See EN 62052-31:2016, Table 7.
— have all functional elements, including add-on modules, enclosed in, or forming a single meter case with
exception of indicating displays;
— operate with integrated or detached indicating displays;
— be installed in a specified matching sockets or racks;
— optionally, provide additional functions other than those for measurement of electrical energy.
Meters designed for operation with low power instrument transformers (LPITs as defined in the IEC 61869
series) can be tested for compliance with this document only if such meters and their LPITs are tested together
and meet the requirements for directly connected meters.
NOTE 3 Modern electricity meters typically contain additional functions such as measurement of voltage magnitude,
current magnitude, power, frequency, power factor, etc.; measurement of power quality parameters; load control functions;
delivery, time, test, accounting, recording functions; data communication interfaces and associated data security functions.
The relevant standards for these functions could apply in addition to the requirements of this document. However, the
requirements for such functions are outside the scope of this document.
NOTE 4 Product requirements for power metering and monitoring devices (PMDs) and measurement functions such as
voltage magnitude, current magnitude, power, frequency, etc., are covered in EN 61557-12. However, devices compliant
with EN 61557-12 are not intended to be used as billing meters unless they are also compliant with the
EN IEC 62052-11:2021 and prEN 50470-3:2021 standards.
NOTE 5 Product requirements for power quality instruments (PQIs) are covered in EN 62586-1. Requirements for power
quality measurement techniques (functions) are covered in EN 61000-4-30. Requirements for testing of the power quality
measurement functions are covered in EN 62586-2.
This document does not apply to:
— meters for which the voltage line-to-neutral derived from nominal voltages exceeds 1 000 V AC;
— meters intended for connection with low power instrument transformers (LPITs as defined in the EN 61869
series) when tested without such transformers;
— metering systems comprising multiple devices (except of LPITs) physically remote from one another;
— portable meters;
NOTE 6 Portable meters are meters that are not permanently connected.
— meters used in rolling stock, vehicles, ships and airplanes;
— laboratory and meter test equipment;

— reference standard meters;
— data interfaces to the register of the meter;
— matching sockets or racks used for installation of electricity metering equipment;
— any additional functions provided in electrical energy meters.
This document does not cover measures for the detection and prevention of fraudulent attempts to compromise
meter’s performance (tampering).
NOTE 7 Nevertheless, specific tampering detection and prevention requirements, and test methods, as relevant for a
particular market are subject to the agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
NOTE 8 Specifying requirements and test methods for fraud detection and prevention would be counterproductive, as
such specifications would provide guidance for potential fraudsters.
NOTE 9 There are many types of meter tampering reported from various markets; therefore, designing meters to detect
and prevent all types of tampering could lead to unjustified increase in costs of meter design, verification and validation.
NOTE 10 Billing systems, such as, smart metering systems, are capable of detecting irregular consumption patterns and
irregular network losses which enable discovery of suspected meter tampering.
NOTE 11 For transformer operated meters paired with current transformers (CTs) according EN 61869-2: the standard
CT measuring range is specified from 0,05 I to I for accuracy classes 0,1, 0,2, 0,5 and 1 and these CTs are used for
n max
meters of class C, B and A according to this document.
NOTE 12 This document does not specify emission requirements, these are specified in EN IEC 62052-11:2021, 9.3.14.

In addition to the requirements in EN IEC 62052-11:2021, 5.6, these requirements apply:
a) The scale interval for a measured value shall be in the form 1x10n, 2x10n, or 5x10n, where n is any integer
or zero. The unit of measurement or its symbol shall be shown close to the numerical value.
b) The indication of any result shall be clear and unambiguous and accompanied by such marks and
inscriptions necessary to inform the user of the significance of the result. Easy reading of the presented
result shall be permitted under normal conditions of use. Additional indications may be shown provided
they cannot be confused with the metrologically controlled indications.
NOTE 1 Metrologically relevant information on the display requires an unambiguous identification of the way it is defined.
The user manual could provide additional details.
NOTE 2 The mechanical tests specified in EN IEC 62052-11:2021 are deemed to provide evidence for compliance with
the M1 and M2 requirements, if the meter after the tests shows no damage or change of the information and operates
correctly in accordance with the requirements of EN IEC 62052-11:2021. As static meters have no moving parts, it is
sufficient to perform metrological tests after the mechanical tests only.
NOTE 3 In contrast to EN IEC 62052-11:2021, 5.6.2 (Meters without indicating displays), meters without indicating
display are not permitted under 2014/32/EU.
6 Meter marking and documentation
The requirements of EN IEC 62052-11:2021, Clause 6 apply together with those listed here.
The current measuring range shall be marked as follows:
— for direct connected meters, the minimum current (I ), nominal current (I ), and maximum current (I ),
min n max
for example, 0,5-10(80) A;
— the rated secondary current of transformer(s) to which a transformer-operated meter should be connected,
for example: /5 A or /1 A. The nominal current(s) and the maximum current(s) of the meter may be included
in the type designation.

7.7 Starting current test
The requirements, test conditions and procedures, and acceptance criteria of EN IEC 62052-11:2021, 7.7 apply.
7.8 Repeatability test
The requirements, test conditions and procedures, and acceptance criteria of EN IEC 62052-11:2021, 7.8 apply.
NOTE The result of a reproducibility assessment according to the Directive 2014/32/EU is not expected to be
significantly different than for the repeatability test for static electricity meters.
7.9 Allowable errors due to variation of the current
When the meter is operated under reference conditions as specified in 7.1 of EN IEC 62052-11:2021, Table 10,
and the current and the power factor are varied, the percentage errors shall not exceed the limits specified for
the relevant class indexes in Table 5.
If the meter is designed for the measurement of energy in both directions, the values in Table 5 shall apply for
each direction.
If the meter is rated for multiple connection modes, the accuracy testing results are valid only for the connection
modes tested and cannot be used to claim accuracy for other untested connection modes.

NOTE Differences exist between terminologies in IEC standards and directive 2014/32/EU. They are detailed in Table
B.1 of Annex B.
If the meter is rated for multiple connection modes, the accuracy requirements apply for each of the connection
modes. All tests of effects of influence quantities shall be performed in one connection mode selected to exercise
the complete metrological capability of the meter.
When the current and the phase displacement (power factor) are held constant as specified in 7.1 of
EN IEC 62052-11:2021, Table 10, and any single influence quantity is applied one at a time, with the meter
otherwise operated at reference conditions as specified in 7.1 of EN IEC 62052-11:2021, Table 10, the variation
in percentage error relative to the intrinsic error shall not exceed the limits specified for the relevant class indexes
given in Table 7 and Table 8.
