  2. Utrecht CTT Seminar - Background • CTT issues and concerns considered within OIML for sometime. Utrecht Seminar was an opportunity to discuss and identify potential way forward • Attended by 43 delegates. Good cross section of representation • Day 1 – Seminar speakers with a variety of perspectives • Day 2 – Panel discussion, identification and analysis of critical issues

  3. Overview of key points identified • From global perspective CTT has many complexities • CTT important for on-going confidence in OIML certification systems • Regulators need assurance that production instruments are consistent with OIML type • Manufacturers need ‘level playing field’ • Pre-market CTT needed to incentivise compliance by introducing potential to get caught

  4. Overview of key points identified • Need for clear definition for OIML CTT • ‘working’ definition to be considered in Session II • OIML CTT activities: pre-market assurance that ‘production meets type’ • OIML needs to consider: • Existing mandatory national and regional CTT systems (EU - MID and US - VCAP) • Potential proliferation of regional /national CTT systems • Issues associated with instrument ‘dumping’

  5. Overview of key points identified • Instrument manufacturers need to be consulted and involved in CTT development • OIML CTT activity must: • add value and consider compliance costs • use risk management framework to focus scarce resources

  6. Outcomes identified • It is important to leverage off: ISO, IEC and UNECE knowledge and experience in conformity assessment – explore opportunities for joint work • Need to also explore potential improvements in quality and content of OIML certificates and documentation • Both topics to be explored by following speakers

  7. Actions for Consideration: 1 • CIML resolution is drafted to formally assign responsibility for CTT to the work programme of an OIML Technical Committee. (Consideration and clear direction need to be given to where this work is assigned)

  8. Actions For Consideration: 2 • CIML resolution is drafted to formally request this Technical Committee to develop a normative document or guidance document on Conformity to Type • to reference current programmes in the US and EU • identify ‘best practice’ • inform future global development work in this area.

  9. In Conclusion • Conformity to Type is an area of work with strategic importance • Utrecht Seminar successfully highlighted and discussed a wide variety of issues and perspectives • Challenge is to transform this into appropriate OIML activity • Thank you for your attention. • I would be happy to take questions or hear comments.
