MID certification requirements and scope

Measuring instruments are used in public interest, health, safety, order, environmental protection, consumer protection, travel, taxation, tariffs, etc. All of these are in principle required to meet the requirements of MID. In the actual operation process, MID main specifications are as follows:

Authentication Mode:

Mode A is based on the internal production management of the DoC (A1 = + specified agency product test)

Mode B specifies the type of inspection of the organization

Mode G is based on the DoC of a single product certification by a designated authority

Mode H is based on a comprehensive quality assurance system for DoC (A1 = + designated organization's product test)

Mode C is based on the internal production management of the type of DoC

(C1 = + product testing of the specified organization)

Mode D is based on the type of QA production process

(D1 = production process based on DoC)

Mode E based on QA's final product inspection and testing of the type of DoC

(E1 = DoC based on QA final product inspection and testing)

Mode F is a type of DoC based on the product certification of the specified organization

(A1 = DoC based on the type of product certification of the specified organization)
