1 MID applications
The Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) is a European Union directive (2004/22/EC)
that standardizes 10 types of measuring instruments. For example, MID standardizes the
instruments used for the continuous and dynamic measurement of liquid quantities other
than clean water (Annex MI-005).
TPS connections
The CDM meter provides the raw density information in a time period value over the Time
Period Signal (TPS) output. The TPS output is the “MID”-approved output.

Certification
2 Certification
An assessor uses the voluntary Welmec 8.8 guide to test the essential parts of an MID
liquid measuring system. If the tests pass, the assessor issues an evaluation certificate or
parts certificate.
The CDM has been tested by NMi Certin BV based on Welmec 8.8. OIML R117 was used as
the normative document. The evaluation certificate number is TC8272.
MID labelFigure 2-1:
A. Certificate number
As a result of this test and certification, the CDM can be used in an MID liquid
measurement system.
