The only part of the UK which has a formal type approval procedure for taximeters is London where the instruments must meet the detailed requirements specified by Transport for London. So, those manufacturers who have taximeters approved by Transport for London will benefit from the ten year derogation allowing them to place non-MID compliant taximeters on the market until 2016. All other taximeter manufacturers will, therefore, only be able to place MID-compliant taximeters on the market after October 2006. This means that they will necessarily incur costs for the first time when they embark on the MID conformity assessment procedure.

Our council have just thrown this one at us. Can anyone confirm the effect of these regulations on taximeters, please? I'm struggling to find something intelligible on t'internet.

Cheers Sussex. I interpret that as meaning that any meter in use before Oct 2006 is exempt from the regulations. The date 2016 came into it somewhere but I can't find a reference to it. Any ideas? Is this the date by which all meters in use must comply?
