Information
Definition
The Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) is the EU framework for placing regulated measuring instruments on the market, including active electrical energy meters used for trade. In EV charging it is relevant to EU market billing, kWh measurement and legal metrology requirements.
Why it matters
It matters because MID approval can be a key requirement for EV charging products or metering systems used for payment calculation in EU markets, while UK use should be considered separately through MIR.
