For measuring instruments there are international recommendations, issued by OIML (International Organization of Legal Metrology). RISE is appointed as an Issuing Authority for a number of these recommendations and can in that role issue OIML certificates. An OIML certificate can be used in an application for national or regional type approvals.
Syfte
The purpose of an OIML certificate is to show that the measuring instrument meets the requirements of an OIML recommendation. The OIML certificate can be used in an application for a national or regional type approval.
Metod
The process starts when RISE receives an application from the manufacturer. The technical documentation shall be attached to the application.
A special application form is available, and it has a guide to what the technical documentation shall contain.
An evaluation plan is developed by RISE in consultation with the manufacturer to decide what tests are required. The technical documentation and the results of the tests are evaluated. RISE test laboratories can perform testing according to the OIML recommendations
Leverans
If RISE makes the assessment that the equipment meets the requirements in the actual OIML recommendation, an OIML certificate and an OIML type evaluation report will be issued. The certificate has no specific validity time stated, and will be valid as long as no changes are made to the instruments, and the recommendation is still valid. The OIML type evaluation report compiles the results of various tests and examinations that have been performed.
