emitted amplitude -modulated electromagnetic  field.  9. Manufacturer specifies climate, mechanical and electromagnetic conditions for the use of a measuri ng 
instrument , requirements for power supply, and other factors that influence the accuracy of such device, taking 
into account requirements in Addendums 1 -10 to these Technical Regulations.

Lower m argin  +5° C   -10° C   -25° C   -40° C   
 
 
11. Measuring instruments  are divided into three types, based on the operating conditions and possibility of  
vibrations and mechanical shock.  
A me asuring instrument  that is used in conditions of:  
vibrations and in significant shocks, in particular a measuring instrument assembled with light supporting 
structure that only receives  impact from low level vibrations and shocks from gusts of wind or blows connected 
to explosions, is type M1;  
vibrations and shocks of sig nificant level, in particular near a motor road  or next to heavy machinery , is type 
M2;  
vibrations and shocks of high or very high levels, for example, when a measuring instrument  is installed directly 
on the mechanism, is type M3.  
12. Measuring instrume nts are divided into three types, based on the external  electromagnetic operating 
conditions: E1, E2, E3, unless otherwise is specified in Addendums 1 -10 to these Technical Regulations.  
Measuring instruments that are used in:  
residential, commercial and industrial buildings, and production process es that do not create significant 
electromagnetic obstacles, are type E1;  
industrial buildings, production process es that create significant electromagnetic obstacles, are type E2.  
Measuring instruments  that ar e powered by vehicle battery  are type E3.  
Regarding measuring instruments that are type E3 and also comply with the requirements for the instruments of 
type E2, additional requirements are:   
reduction of voltage level as a result of connection to the starter motor circuit of an internal combustion engine;  
transient processes that occur due to load reduction in  the event of a discharged battery that is disconnected 
while the engine is operating .  The following external  electromagnetic conditions shall be taken into account:  
power supply drop;  
short -term drops of power supply;  
significant fluctuations of voltage and current in power lines and/or signal circuits;  
transient processes in power lines and/or signal circuits;

During an influence quantity’s act a measuring instrument shall be in its normal working position.   
14. If a measuring instrument  is designed for use in conditions of damp heat (without condensation) or cyclic 
damp heat (with condensation), appropriate tests can be conducted.  
15. During reproducibility test s and convergence of measurement results, devia tions between separate 
measurement results shall be less than the maximum acceptable error.

highest from the following:  
absolute value of maximum acceptable relative error specified in tables 2 or 3, or  
absolute value o f maximum acceptable relative error for minimum measured amount of liquid (E min).  
For minimum volume of measured liquid that comprises 2 or more liters, the following conditions are applied:

devices have the same value of a poi nt.  
In the event the specified converting devices have different values of a point, the difference of readings shall not 
exceed the highest value of a point.  
For self -service systems, value of a point of a primary converting device of a measuring system and the value of 
a point of a self -service device are the same, and measurements results shall not differ.   
9. It is impossible to reject a measured value under normal operation conditions, if it is not obvious.  
10. Presence of air or gas in the liquid d oes not lead to changes of error value by more than 0.5 percent for

measuring system is used.

measuring functions in the event of an accident or interruption of supply from the netwo rk, or is equipped with

Technical Regulations for electronic taximeters, approved by the decision of the Head of State Commission on 
Introduction of Electronic Systems and Control Devices and Management of Goods and Money Turnover

shall not apply to a remote control signal generator.  
2. The terms herein shall be used in the following meaning:  
fare is a sum that needs to be paid for travel and depends on fixed payment and/or distance and/or duration of 
travel. Additional services are not included in the fare;  
normal calculation method S (single use of rate) is the calculation of fare using the time rate for a speed that is 
lower than the transitional speed and the distance rate for a speed that is higher than transitional f speed;  
normal calculation method D (double use of rate) is the calculation of a fare simultaneously using the time rate 
and the distance rate for an entire trip;  
transitional speed is the s peed determined by dividing the time rate value by the distance rate value;  operation mode is the mode in which the taximeter performs its appropriate functions.   
In operation mode “Vacant”, the fare calculation function is turned off.  
In operation mode  “Occupied” the fare calculation is based on the rate for the distance covered and/or time of 
travel with possible prepayment.  
In operation mode “Stop” the fare is shown on the display, while the fare calculation function based on the time 
rate is turned off.  
3. A taximeter provides:  
calculation of distance and measurement of travel duration;  
calculation and display of fare, which increases in operation mode “Occupied”;  
display of total fare in operation mode “Stop”;  
maintenance of maximum acceptable error without additional regulation during one year of reliable operation.  
4. A taximeter provides calculation with single (S) and double (D) use of rate and a choice between specified
