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.

The flow sensor including flow sensor electronics shall be operated at zero flow rate (without low flow cut off device). 7 Tests and measurements 7.1 General Unless otherwise stated in the test specification, the test requirements apply irrespective of the !thermal energy meter's" environmental class. See !EN 1434-1:2015+A1:2018, Clause 10". All measurements shall be carried out under the installation conditions stipulated by the manufacturer for his type of meter (e.g. straight sections of piping upstream and downstream of the meter). For all tests the heat conveying liquid shall be water, unless otherwise specified. The performance test shall be carried out with the specified liquid and the type approval certificate shall include the specification of the liquid to be used for initial verification.

EN 1434-4:2015+A1:2018 (E) 9 If a temperature sensor can be installed in the flow sensor, this shall be done during the performance tests of the flow sensor. Where a filter or strainer is an integral part of the flow sensor, it shall be included at all tests. If the error determined lies outside the MPE, the test shall be repeated twice unless otherwise stated. The test is satisfactory declared if both the arithmetic mean of the result of the three tests and at least two of the test results are within or at the MPE. Depending on the flow sensor size the tests and measurements to be carried out are described below: For each meter model the test in 7.4, 7.18 and 7.19 can be carried out on a limited number of sizes according to an evaluation by the testing laboratory. This evaluation shall be included in the type testing report. The test in 7.8 shall be carried out only for those sizes of a type for which the highest wear is expected. For dimensions > DN 200, 7.19 shall be carried out at min. For each meter model the following tests shall be carried out on one size only: 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.9, 7.10, 7.11, 7.12, 7.13, 7.14, 7.15, 7.16, 7.17, 7.20, 7.21 and 7.23. Tests of additional energy registers for smart metering functionalities: The accuracy of thermal energy accumulation into the additionally and independently energy registers shall be tested by energy performance tests according to 7.4. NOTE In applications of smart metering, one or both single sensors of the pair are used as additional single sensor. Additional tests for control quantities, the internal clock, external digital signal, single temperature sensors, calculators and calculators with single sensors shall be done according to requirements in !EN 1434-1:2015+A1:2018, 5.10". It shall be tested that the specific MPE according to !EN 1434-1:2015+A1:2018, 5.10.5" for tolerance quantities, used for threshold activation of additional energy accumulations will be met. The absence of software-interaction between all energy registers shall be proved in accordance with the WELMEC Guide “7.2 Software”, respective latest edition. This shall be done for both directions of energy flow, in cases of delivered and absorbed energy (heat and cooling meter). Each additional register under test shall be activated by the corresponding control quantity. It shall be ascertained that the specific activated register content on display is corresponding to the changes of control quantity, as expected and by at least one totalizer energy increment. By metrological tests the accuracy of generating and processing, the accumulated energy values in dependency on the parameterisation of the corresponding control parameters shall be tested. By checking of the switch-on/off parameters, it shall be ascertained that the control quantity and the values thereof are indicated on display properly. The information on the display shall not deviate from the real measurement with respect to measurement conditions. 7.2 Test programme Samples of a !thermal energy meter", or its sub-assemblies, submitted for pattern approval, shall be subject to tests to verify their conformity with Clause 4. Unless otherwise stated, the tests shall be carried out at reference conditions and the samples shall be exposed to the influence factors or disturbances specified for the respective tests, as stated in Table 3. The test sequence and the number of items used shall be either as described in Table 3 or as agreed between the manufacturer and the testing laboratory (assuming four samples, numbered by the testing laboratory). Only one influence quantity shall be applied at a time. SIST EN 1434-4:2016+A1:2019
