Heat meters - Part 1: General requirements
This European Standard specifies the general requirements and applies to heat meters. Heat meters are instruments intended for measuring the energy which in a heat-exchange circuit is absorbed (cooling) or given up (heating) by a liquid called the heat-conveying liquid. The heat meter indicates the quantity of heat in legal units.
Electrical safety requirements are not covered by this European Standard.
Pressure safety requirements are not covered by this European Standard.
Surface mounted temperature sensors are not covered by this European Standard.
This standard covers meters for closed systems only, where the differential pressure over the thermal load is limited.
Wärmezähler - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen
Diese Europäische Norm legt die allgemeinen Anforderungen für Wärmezähler fest. Wärmezähler sind Geräte, die dazu dienen, die Energiemenge zu messen, die in einem Wärmetauscherkreis¬lauf durch eine als Wärmeträgerflüssigkeit bezeichnete Flüssigkeit aufgenommen (Kühlen) oder abgegeben (Heizen) wird. Der Wärmezähler zeigt die Wärmemenge in gesetzlichen Einheiten an.
Elektrische Sicherheitsanforderungen werden in dieser Europäischen Norm nicht behandelt.
Den Druck betreffende Sicherheitsanforderungen werden in dieser Europäischen Norm nicht behandelt.
Oberflächenmontierte Temperaturfühler werden in dieser Europäischen Norm nicht behandelt.
Die vorliegende Norm behandelt ausschließlich Zähler für geschlossene Systeme, in denen der Differenz-druck am Wärmeübertrager begrenzt ist.
Compteurs d'énergie thermique - Partie 1 : Prescriptions générales
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les prescriptions générales relatives aux compteurs d'énergie thermique. Les compteurs d'énergie thermique sont des instruments destinés à mesurer l'énergie thermique qui, dans un circuit d'échange thermique, est absorbée (refroidissement) ou cédée (chauffage) par un liquide appelé « liquide caloporteur ». Le compteur d'énergie thermique fournit la quantité d'énergie thermique en unités de mesure légales.
La présente Norme européenne ne traite pas des prescriptions de sécurité électrique.
La présente Norme européenne ne traite pas des prescriptions de sécurité relative à la pression.
La présente Norme européenne ne traite pas des sondes de température montées en surface.
La présente norme couvre les compteurs pour les systèmes fermés uniquement, où la pression différentielle dans la charge thermique est limitée.

Overview
EN 1434-1:2015/prA1 (CEN) - titled Thermal energy meters - Part 1: General requirements - defines the general requirements for meters that measure thermal energy transferred by a liquid in a heat‑exchange circuit. It covers instruments intended to quantify heat given up (heating) or absorbed (cooling) by the heat‑conveying liquid and to indicate the quantity of heat in legal units. This amendment updates terminology to “thermal energy meter”, aligns the standard with Directive 2014/32/EU (MID) and clarifies software and smart‑metering references.
Note: electrical safety, pressure safety and surface‑mounted temperature sensors are excluded. The standard applies to closed systems only where the differential pressure over the thermal load is limited.
Key topics and technical requirements
EN 1434-1/prA1 sets out the normative framework and references for more detailed parts of EN 1434. Major topics covered or referenced include:
- Terms and definitions - unified terminology (thermal energy meter; meter for smart metering).
- Rated operating conditions and declared influence quantities (operating ranges suppliers must state).
- Accuracy classes and metrological characteristics (reference to accuracy classes and MPEs as aligned with MID).
- Environmental and climatic classifications (operating and storage environments).
- Durability, reproducibility and repeatability - metrological performance and lifetime considerations.
- Software - requirements and conformity guidance (note: WELMEC Software Guide 7–2 classifies heat meters as P‑meters, risk class C).
- Indication and display requirements, information to accompany the instrument, and inscriptions.
- Protection against fraud and data integrity, and provisions for smart metering (data communication capabilities; see EN 13757 and CEN/CLC/ETSI/TR 50572).
- Conformity assessment - relationship to Directive 2014/32/EU (MID) and Annex ZA mapping for presumption of conformity.
Practical applications
EN 1434-1/prA1 establishes the baseline requirements that enable:
- Accurate billing and sub‑metering in district heating/cooling systems.
- Performance monitoring of heat exchangers and building HVAC systems.
- Integration of thermal energy meters into smart metering and building energy management systems.
- Compliance pathways for placing meters on the EU/EFTA market under MID.
Who should use this standard
- Meter manufacturers (design and declaration of rated conditions and software risk class).
- Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies (type approval, MPE verification).
- Utilities and energy suppliers (procurement specifications and billing accuracy).
- Installers, HVAC engineers and building managers (selection and deployment in closed systems).
- Regulators and notified bodies referencing MID conformity.
Related standards and references
- Directive 2014/32/EU (Measuring Instruments Directive, MID)
- WELMEC Software Guide 7‑2 (software risk classification)
- EN 13757 and CEN/CLC/ETSI/TR 50572 (smart metering communication)
