CG dispensers for hydrogen

Order No WJZ/18268713 of the State Secretary for Economic Affairs and Climate of [date] amending the Order on national autonomously regulated measuring instruments and the Order on the use and installation of EU measuring instruments.

This notification primarily reports on the amendment of Articles 62 and 64 of the Order on national autonomously regulated measuring instruments [Regeling nationaal autonoom geregelde meetinstrumenten], which set out technical requirements on CG dispensers. Due to the amendment of Article 62 of the Order on national autonomously regulated measuring instruments, CG dispensers for hydrogen are no longer subject to the same minimum delivery volume as other CG dispensers. With the amendment, the minimum delivery volume for hydrogen dispensers is no more than 1 kilogram.

The amendment to Article 64 of the Order on national autonomously regulated measuring instruments increases the maximum permissible error for hydrogen dispensers.

In addition, the notification covers the amendment to Article 79 of the Order on national autonomously regulated measuring instruments. This article is a transitional provision and may contain technical regulations. The amendment adds ‘certificates of conformity’ (as referred to in Annex G to Directive 2004/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on measuring instruments (OJ L 135, 2004)) and ‘conformity certificates’ (referring to ‘certificates of conformity’ as referred to in Annex 1, Module G, of 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 (OJ L 96, 2014)) to the provision.

Moreover, the amendment to the Order on the use and installation of EU measuring instruments is notified separately under Article 16(2)(f) in conjunction with Article 39(5) of Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on services in the internal market.
