Rated operating conditions



The rated operating conditions are the values for the measurand and

influence factors that make up the normal working conditions of the gauge.



Interference



Interference is affecting the quantity having a value within the limits set by

specific requirement but outside the specified rated operating conditions of the gauge.

An influence quantity is a disturbance if for that influence

quantity not specified working conditions.

and the measurement result) serves as the basis for determining the price to be paid,



(b)), at least one of the parties of the transaction that is associated with the measurement,

is a consumer or any other person, requiring a similar level of

the protection and



(c) the parties in the transaction accept) all of the measurement result at that time and on

a given location.



The climatic environment



Climatic environments are the conditions in which you can gauge

to use. In order to take into account climatic differences between the
