Royal Decree 244/2016, of 3 June, implementing Law 32/2014, of 22 December, on Metrology, establishes in its sixteen annexes the general and specific requirements that must be met, among others, the measurement instruments subject to State metrological control. It also transposes the directives:

• DIRECTIVE 2014/32/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the marketing of measuring instruments (recast)
• DIRECTIVE 2014/31/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of non-automatic weighing instruments (recast)

This royal decree entered into force on June 8, 2016. Directive 2014/32/EU of 26 February 2014 has recently been amended by Directive (EU) 2026/706 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2026. Therefore, its transposition into the Spanish legal system is necessary.

This legislative proposal aims to transpose into Spanish law Directive (EU) 2026/706 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2026 amending Directive 2014/32/EU as regards measuring systems for electric vehicle power supplies and compressed gas pumps and electricity, gas and thermal energy meters.
