DIN EN 16314:2013-09

The requirements given within Mandate M/441 of the European Commission were examined in DIN EN 16314 and a framework for innovative additional functions of domestic gas meters has been prepared. Product standard EN 16314 provides the specific requirements for additional functionalities for gas meters with a maximum capacity of 40 m³/h and a maximum operating pressure of 500 mbar. Where the option of an integral valve to the meter is specified, this standard only gives requirements for gas meters having a maximum capacity of 10 m³/h. Therefore, the described functions are primarily intended for use in domestic gas meters, they may also be suitable for meters in commercial and industrial applications, however. The standard does not refer to communication systems for meters - these requirements are described in standard EN 13575 - but to construction requirements for electronic components.
