General rules for energy measuring instrument equipping and managing of energy user
1 Scope
This document specifies the basic requirements for energy measuring instrument equipping and managing of energy user.
This document is applicable to independently accountable energy users such as enterprises, institutions, government agencies, and social organizations.
2 Normative references
No normative references are listed in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
energy measuring instrument
device that measures primary energy, secondary energy, and energy-consumed medium, either individually or in combination with one or more auxiliary devices, used for the purpose of measurement
3.2
sub-energy user
energy accounting unit under an energy user
3.3
equipping ratio of energy measuring instrument
percentage of actual installed and equipped energy measuring instruments to theoretical demand
4 Requirements for equipping energy measuring instruments
4.1 Types and measurement range of energy
4.1.1 The types of energy shall comply with national statistical laws, regulations, and relevant standards, including primary energy, secondary energy, and energy-consumed medium.
Note: Energy-consumed medium refers to the medium that can absorb or release energy due to the change of its own state parameters.
4.1.2 The measurement range of energy includes:
a) Energy and energy-consumed medium input into energy users, sub-energy users, and energy-consuming equipment;
b) Energy and energy-consumed medium output from energy users, sub-energy users, and energy-consuming equipment;
c) Energy and energy-consumed medium used (consumed) by energy users, sub-energy users, and energy-consuming equipment;
d) Energy and energy-consumed medium self-produced by energy users, sub-energy users, and energy-consuming equipment;
e) Residual energy resources recovered and utilized by energy users, sub-energy users, and energy-consuming equipment.
4.2 Principle for equipping energy measuring instruments
4.2.1 The requirements of energy classification and measurement shall be met.
4.2.2 The requirements for energy users to achieve hierarchical and categorical assessment and statistical accounting of energy shall be met.
4.2.3 The effective measurement range of energy measuring instruments shall be able to cover the actual needs of energy measurement.
4.2.4 The requirements for energy users to achieve refined energy management shall be met to gradually upgrade and equip intelligent energy measuring instruments with automatic collection and remote transmission capabilities.
4.2.5 Key energy users shall be equipped with necessary portable energy detection instruments to meet the requirements for self-inspection and self-auditing.
