GUIDE SUMMARY:
The document provides guidance to all those concerned with the application of the Measuring Instruments Directive (MID), especially for software-equipped measuring instruments. It addresses both, manufacturers of measuring instruments and notified bodies which are responsible for conformity assessment of MID instruments. By following the Guide, a compliance with the software-related requirements contained in the MID (e.g. Annex I, 7.6, 8.3, 8.4) can be assumed, and it can be further assumed that all notified bodies will accept this Guide as a compliant interpretation of the MID with respect to software. The Guide is based on the "Software Requirements and Validation Guide", Version 1.00, 29 October 2004, developed and delivered by the European Growth Network "MID-Software"supported by the EU commission (2002 to 2004).
