6. Description of content:  This measure of a general nature stipulates metrological and 
technological requirements for specified measuring devices, including test methods for 
verifying specified measuring devices, which in  this case are automatic level gauges and 
automatic level gauges with automatic checking of metrological parameters. 
7. Objective and rationale, including the natu re of urgent problems where applicable:  
Automatic level gauges and automatic level ga uges with automatic checking of metrological 
parameters are specified measuring devices in  accordance with Section 3(3) of Act No. 
505/1990 Coll., on metrology, as amended and are thus subject to state metrological control, i.e. verification. Currently, specific metrological and technical requirements for these 
measuring devices are present only in Czech tec hnical standards and internal regulations of 
metrological bodies. This state of affairs needs to  be rectified by including requirements into 
a binding Measure of a General Nature in accord ance with Section 24c of Act No. 505/1990 
Coll., on metrology, as amended, to preven t the occurrence of problems with their 
enforceability. G/TBT/N/CZE/139/Rev.1
