Kimans Metering
Approvals & standards

Built and approved to the standards that matter

Kimans meters are designed for billing-grade accuracy and legal metrology. Here is what each approval means — in plain language.

MID
MID — Measuring Instruments Directive

OIML
OIML — International recommendations

Recommendations of the International Organization of Legal Metrology (e.g. R 49 for water meters, R 75 for heat meters) that underpin national type approvals worldwide.

ISO 9001
