Metering instruments sit within CPV division 38, and smart metering systems may also carry software or service codes.
What testing and certification do South Africa meter tenders require?
South Africa meter tenders usually require type or pattern approval, test reports from accredited laboratories against the applicable metering standards, and samples that may be tested by the utility. Manufacturer authorisations, production capacity details and references for similar volumes are common. Smart and prepaid systems typically also need interoperability and data-security documentation.
What are the pitfalls of large-volume South Africa meter supply contracts?
The main pitfalls of large-volume South Africa meter supply contracts are failing sample or batch testing, delivery schedules spread over long periods, and accuracy requirements that leave little tolerance.
