Full implementation of the EU directives and compliance with the technical requirements are necessary for the realization of national and international competitiveness.

Accreditation Body of Serbia (ATS) granted accreditation to Certification body of Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals for conformity assessment activities. Scope of accreditation of the Certification body of Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals according to the standard SRPS EN ISO/IEC 17065:2016 is type examination of: non-automatic weighing instruments, active electrical energy meters and taximeters.

Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals was designated for conformity assessment of weighing instruments with the relevant requirements of Regulation on non-automatic weighing instruments - type examination and for conformity assessment of measuring instruments with the relevant requirements from Annex I of Regulation on measuring instruments and requirements from appropriate instrument-specific Annex according to conformity assessment procedure Module B – Type examination.

Second Mission of the Activity 3.1 „Trainings and consultancy to DMDM for implementation of MID, NAWI and Pre-packages, extension of the accreditation scope, improvement of existing Serbian measurement standards, obtaining new calibration and measuring capabilities”, within Twinning project “Strengthening Capacities of National Quality Infrastructure and Conformity Assessment Services in the Republic of Serbia” was performed at the Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals from January 23 to 25, 2017.

The representatives of the Czech Metrology Institute (CMI) through consultative talks with the representatives of the Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals analyzed the Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals from the perspective of preparation for designated (notified) body for the EU directives transposed into legislation of the Republic of Serbia. They emphasized that designations are one of prerequisites for the EU Membership.

The findings collected during the Mission confirmed capacities of the Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals for conformity assessment and are reference for further arangements as designated body for the EU directives on metrology.
