MID

Measuring Instrument Directive

This came in during 2006 and gave manufacturers ten years to manufacture and get approval for taximeters that met MID

From October 2016 it became illegal to sell taximeters that dont have MID because anything that doesnt is not a taximeter and should not be used where the requirement (such as Hackneys in UK) is for the taxi to have a taximeter.

Some councils in UK have a requirement that all taximeters must be MID approved (all should) but many dont as there sems to be nowhere they (or their testing center) can go to get a list of MID approved meters. So many that have the rule dont apply it.

To that end we are putting a list on the site. Just click the MID link.

At first it will be a simple list but we will expand it so each meter has a link to a page showing the MID certificate.

The identification is made a bit more complicated where a manufacturer has continued with the same model number and case for approved and non approved meters.

 PDA/APPS/FARE INDICATOR/NON MID DISPATCH HEAD UNIT

None of the above has MID approval so by definition cannot be used as a taximeter which is supposed to be tested and SEALED by the local authority.
