Safety requirements for meters are addressed in specific metering standards outlined below.
The CE Mark does not denote compliance with the European Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC,
which specifically excludes electricity meters.
The A1120/40 meter measures active energy, according to the requirements of -
EN 62053-21/22:2003 for indoor kWh meters of Protective Class II and Accuracy Class 0.5s, 1 or 2
(MID) - Annex MI-003, kWh Class A, B or C.
The meter measures reactive energy in accordance with EN 62053-23:2003, Class 2 or Class 3.
Meters displaying OBIS Identification Codes meet the requirements of IEC 62056-61.
The degree of ingress protection is to IP53, IEC 60529:1989.
