Comply with the Obligation for Monthly Remote Water and Heat Meter Readings.

Are you facing the replacement of water or heat meters? Act No. 362/2021 Coll., effective from 1.1.2022, defines the obligation to install water meters for hot water and heat meters with remote reading capabilities.

Technical Standards for Remote Readings under EN 1434

Remote meter installations must meet the technical requirements set out in the European standard EN 1434, which specifies criteria for measurement accuracy, reliability, and safety. This standard guarantees that meters will record consumption accurately and minimizes errors caused by improper installation or maintenance.

Penalties for Non-Compliance with Legal Obligations

Failure to install remote meters and perform regular monthly readings can result in financial penalties. Both property managers and service providers may be fined if they fail to meet the standards set by both Czech law and EU regulations for remote meter management.

Monthly Meter Reading Requirement

From 1.1.2024, Act No. 424/2022 Coll. mandates monthly readings of heat and hot water meters. Measured values must subsequently be provided to end consumers, ensuring regular consumption information and more accurate billing.
