Metrology Pattern Approvals (MPA) Expiring by December 31, 2023 Extended by 12 Months
In accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation dated December 26, 2022 No. 5485 "On the extension of the validity of approved types of reference materials or types of measuring instruments", all Metrology Pattern Approvals (MPA) which expire before December 31, 2023 extended by 12 months.
The decision comes into force on March 17, 2023.
The period of validity of MPA is automatically extended and does not require an application from the owner of the measuring instruments.
Metrology Pattern Approval confirms compliance with the requirements of the Russian Federation and is issued by the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology (Rosstandart).
MPA can be registered either for the mass production (maximum validity period is 5 years) or for a batch.
Before MPA expires, it can be renewed for another 5 years. This procedure helps to save time and money. Read more about this process here.
All the necessary documents for renewal of the MPA should be submitted at least 40 business days prior to the expiration date of the previously issued certificate. Otherwise, MPA registration process should be started from the very beginning.
