The conformity assessment of utility meters is the process by which compliance of measuring instruments with essential requirements is determined. The uncertainties associated with accuracy measurements during testing shall be evaluated and accounted for when making decisions about conformity with the specifications. This paper describes evaluation methods of measurement results in utility meters testing applicable for conformity assessment and for testing laboratories.
