DPS / KT 8 was established on 27.04.2009 in accordance with Law no. 9870, dated 02.04.2008 "On Standardization", amended by the Internal Regulation of DPS and following the strategy of CEN / CENELEC and ISO / IEC on the establishment and functioning of technical committees. The scope of this TC are electricity metering equipment used for electricity metering and control and used in power stations, transmission lines, electricity distribution and supply networks; also this KT deals with the adoption of European and international standards in the field of equipment and systems for measurement, testing, monitoring, generation and simple and complex analysis of electrical and electromagnetic quantities, as well as their calibrators.

To respond to the challenges posed by smart grid mandates the scope has been expanded in this regard to address issues related to energy consumption control, energy conservation and improving the quality of energy supply to consumers to avoid operation not good of grid-connected electrical appliances and equipment by maintaining a voltage value appropriate to our distribution and transmission network conditions.

The scope of application of this CT is also the standards related to EMC whose purpose is to protect the radio spectrum through their emission requirements and with the aim of ensuring that the devices function perfectly in their environment provided through immunity requirements, having a horizontal function in relation to safety. The scope of application of this EC extends to various aspects of human exposure to electromagnetic fields from 0 Hz to 300 GHz, adopting standards that demonstrate compliance with European directives transposed at the national level, adopting all types of European standards such as: product standards, most of which are harmonized standards under the relevant directives, basic standards related to the determination of measurement methods and calculations of the level of emission of electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields generated by equipment and systems, general standards that can be applied to a range of different products such as low power products or products that can not be covered by other product standards, specific product standards that are specific to certain specific products.

Also in the scope of application of this CT are ultrasound, hearing aids, standardization of instruments and measurement methods in the field of electroacoustics, including performance requirements of electrostatic converting equipment, sound measuring instruments, audiometric equipment, etc.

Standardization of specific and general requirements for the construction, safety, performance and testing of electrical appliances for sensitivity to the presence of gases or vapors and to provide an indication, alarm and / or other function, the purpose of which is to warn of danger of explosion, fire hazard or health hazard. This TC adopts these standards to provide information and guidance regarding the selection, installation and operation of such equipment.

In terms of fire risk tests this KT adopts international standards, technical specifications and technical reports related to fire risk assessment, fire risk engineering, fire risk terminology related to electrotechnical products, measurement of flame tongues and review of fire risk testing methods for electrotechnical products, test methods that are widely used in product standards as well as by manufacturers and lawmakers.

Also another task of this TC is the adoption of safety standards for measuring and testing equipment, industrial process control equipment, and laboratory equipment wherever they are used such as equipment and systems for measurement, testing, generation and analysis. of simple and complex electromagnetic quantities, equipment for measurement and control of industrial process, laboratory equipment for analysis, use and preparation of materials.

Standardization of classes according to environmental conditions is done using valid environmental parameters, and provides instructions for the selection and use of these classes provided for the preparation of relevant specifications, standardization of environmental test methods, connection and transformation of environmental classes with environmental methods

Equipment covered by this EC in support of EU MID Directives; EMC, LVD etc. are electricity meters and instruments that calculate the qualities of electricity, calibrated measuring devices, signal generators, measuring instruments, systems and accessory
