Is your custody transfer metering for natural gas, biogas and hydrogen compliant with MID-002? An unsuitable measuring instrument can lead to non-compliance of your installation and inaccurate measurements, so it is important to ensure that your measuring instruments are certified. MID-002 is the important directive to know if you are metering or billing fuel gas.
The European Directive 2014/32/EU, also known as MID (Measuring Instruments Directive), regulates the measuring instruments covered by legal metrology. In other words, it sets the standards that measuring instruments must meet in order to be used legally: counting, invoicing, taxation.
The MID is classified into 10 types of instrumentation:
Appendix MI-002 qualifies and certifies the entire fuel gas metering chain, including natural gas, biogas and hydrogen metering chain. Let's take a closer look at what this means for you and your custody transfer metering equipment.
The MID guarantees accuracy and fairness in commercial transactions by establishing a common standard across the European Union. This ensures fair competition on the market and protects consumers from inaccurate or fraudulent measurements.
The MID follows the international recommendations of the International Organisation of Legal Metrology, OILM.OIML is an intergovernmental treaty organization which develops model regulations and standards for use by the industries and legal metrology authorities of the various member states. The aim is to facilitate trade and harmonize the level of consumer protection worldwide.
As a producer and distributor of natural gas, biogas and hydrogen, it is essential that your volume conversion measurement chain is compliant. This compliance must follow the MID directive.
This measure ensures that gaseous fuels and biofuels are correctly accounted for and invoiced to your customers, ensuring accurate and fair management.
It also applies to industries likely to use these instruments, such as power plants that generate electricity from these fuels.
If you are responsible for transactional metering of fuel gas, you need to ensure that your measurement system complies with MID-002. This means taking care to ensure that pressure, temperature and volume flow measurements comply with the requirements set out in the directive.
The essential requirements of MID describe, among other things, the requirements for error limits, reproducibility, durability, reliability, repeatability and marking of the equipment.
