The consultation to align the nine directives includes the NAWI Directive and the MID so may well have a bearing on manufactures and suppliers of both automatic and non-automatic weighing instruments. It is important to note that these changes will not effect the essential requirements of the directives but are aimed at producing a greater consistency with regard to the different procedures and processes that have tended to develop. It introduces a new notion of a business called a “distributor” and creates an obligation on these businesses to ensure that products that they supply meet the appropriate legal requirements. I am at present completing a more detailed review and will pass these on as soon as they are completed. In the meantime please give me a call if you would like to discuss this any further
