CHAPTER VI

Directive 2014/32/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of measuring instruments (recast) Text with EEA relevance · European Union

Instruments are divided into four accuracy classes as follows: 0,2; 0,5; 1; 2. The MPEs for weighing-in-motion of a single wagon or a total train are shown in Table 9. Table 9 Accuracy class MPE 0,2 ± 0,1 % 0,5 ± 0,25 % 1 ± 0,5 % 2 ± 1,0 % The MPEs for the weight of coupled or uncoupled wagons weighing-in-motion shall be one of the following values, whichever is the greatest: the value calculated according to Table 9, rounded to the nearest scale interval; the value calculated according to Table 9, rounded to the nearest scale interval for a weight equal to 35 % of the maximum wagon weight (as inscribed on the descriptive markings); one scale interval (d). The MPEs for the weight of train weighing-in-motion shall be one of the following values, whichever is the greatest: the value calculated according to Table 9, rounded to the nearest scale interval; the value calculated according to Table 9, for the weight of a single wagon equal to 35 % of the maximum wagon weight (as inscribed on the descriptive markings) multiplied by the number of reference wagons (not exceeding 10) in the train, and rounded to the nearest scale interval; one scale interval (d) for each wagon in the train, but not exceeding 10 d. When weighing coupled wagons; the errors of not more than 10 % of the weighing results taken from one or more passes of the train may exceed the appropriate MPE given in point 2.2, but shall not exceed twice the MPE. The relationship between the accuracy class and the scale interval shall be as specified in Table 10. Table 10 Accuracy class Scale interval (d) 0,2 d ≤ 50 kg 0,5 d ≤ 100 kg 1 d ≤ 200 kg 2 d ≤ 500 kg The minimum capacity shall not be less than 1 t, and not greater than the value of the result of the minimum wagon weight divided by the number of partial weighings. The minimum wagon weight shall not be less than 50 d. The MPE due to an influence factor shall be as specified in Table 11. Table 11 Load (m) in verification scale intervals (d) MPE 0 < m ≤ 500 ± 0,5 d 500 < m ≤ 2000 ± 1,0 d 2000 < m ≤ 10000 ± 1,5 d The critical change value due to a disturbance is one scale interval.
