Verification procedure
(K § 9 (2) of the Act)
(1) The place of application of the requirement for verification of a specified gauge is either the site of the Institute or an authorised metrology centre authorised for the required performance. The verification requirements for the following year shall apply by 31 December of the year preceding, exceptionally 60 days before the expiry of the verification period. The requirement to verify a new or corrected fixed gauge shall apply after delivery and installation or after repair. When the validity of the verification pursuant to Article 7 (2) (b) to (e) expires, the verification requirement shall apply after the validity has expired or, where appropriate, after repair.
(2) The Institute or metrology centre authorised for the required performance will determine the place where the verification of the specified measuring instruments is carried out, which is in particular the Institute's own laboratory or the installation site of the specified measuring instruments; In addition, it may, where appropriate, provide for a mass verification using the evaluation of the results of the selection of the specified measuring instruments verified on the basis of statistical methods.
Official marks
(K § 9 (2) of the Act)
(1) The verification of a specified measuring instrument shall be confirmed by a measure of a specified measuring instrument by an official mark at the places specified in the certificate of the specified measuring instrument or by issuing a verification certificate.
(2) The official mark shall be the symbol of the two-tail lion, supplemented by the letters "CM 'assigned to the Institute, or the letters" K' or "CZK 'allocated to authorised metrological centres. The legal importance of these official marks is equivalent. The official marks shall also be accompanied by the registration number, the letter mark or the additional mark of the certifying workshop assigned by the Technical Standardisation, Metrology and State Testing Office (hereinafter referred to as the Office). For official brands of the Institute carried out as self-adhesive label, the identification code of the official label may be attached instead of the number of the Institute's organisational unit. For specified meters subject to subsequent verification, the official mark shall be supplemented by the last two digits of the year in which the verification was carried out.
(3) In cases where the location of more than two official marks is determined by the certificate for a given type of measuring instrument, the main official mark shall be identified at the time of type approval, which shall be decisive for determining the year of verification of the specified measuring instrument.
(4) Official marks placed on a fixed gauge shall be made as:
(a) a suspension seal with an official sign on the front and the last two digits of the number of verifications on the reverse,
(b) self-adhesive label,
(c) cutting, burning, etching, printing, etc.; or
(d) an indication otherwise approved by the Office.
(5) The mark provided for in this Decree as an official mark must be legible and must not be used by other than authorised bodies and for purposes other than the verification of a specified gauge. Where, for technical reasons, the reduced legibility of the official mark referred to in paragraph 2 is imminent, the Office shall adapt it to another form.
(6) The elements of the certificate and the graphic form of the official marks are set out in Annexes 2 and 3 to this Decree.
Validity of the verification
(K § 9 (1) of the Act)
