Objective
and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where applicable: Multi-dimensional measuring instruments 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.
