WATER REGULATION 2016 - REG 110

110 Ongoing certification requirements

(1) This section applies in relation to a measurement device, other than a telemetry device, that is attached, under section 108 , to works through which water is taken under a relevant authorisation.

(2) The holder of the relevant authorisation must ensure the measurement device is certified by a duly qualified person as complying with the measurement standards every 5 years.

(3) For subsection (2) , if the measurement device is certified by a duly qualified person as complying with the measurement standards before the end of a 5-year period, the next 5-year period starts on the day the device is certified.

Example for subsection (3)—

A measurement device is certified as complying with the measurement standards on 1 December 2024. The 5-year period starts on that date meaning the device must be next certified on or before 1 December 2029.
However, the device becomes faulty 2 years later and is certified as complying with the measurement standards on 23 September 2026. The 5-year period starts again on 23 September 2026 meaning the device must be next certified on or before 23 September 2031.

(4) If the holder of the relevant authorisation does not comply with subsection (2) , at the end of the 5-year period mentioned in the subsection—

(a) the previous compliance certificate for the measurement device is of no effect; and

(b) the measurement device is taken not to be certified by a duly qualified person as complying with the measurement standards for the purposes of section 108 (2) (b) .
