Objective
and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where applicable: Material measures of length may be placed on the market and put
into service in the Czech Republic as specified measuring instruments
pursuant to Act No 505/1990 on metrology, as amended. Pursuant to this Act,
specified measuring instruments are instruments that are included in the list
of the types of specified measuring instruments (Decree No 345/2002) and, at
the same time, intended (by the manufacturer/importer) for measurements of
relevance to the protection of public interests in areas of consumer
protection, contractual relations, imposition of sanctions, fees, tariffs and
taxes, health protection, environmental protection, occupational safety, or
the protection of other public interests protected by special legislation.
This is therefore a purpose similar to the one defining specified products –
non-automatic measuring instruments and scales pursuant to Directives
2014/31/EU and 2014/32/EU. The requirements of this legislation do not apply
to measuring instruments not placed on the market in the Czech Republic for
the above purposes, defined by Act No 505/1990 on metrology, as amended.
The purpose of this notified legislation is to lay down metrological and
technical requirements for these specified measuring instruments. This
legislation also stipulates tests for type approval and verification of
specified measuring instruments of this type.; Consumer information,
labelling; Prevention of deceptive practices and consumer protection
