The document has registration number 23 933. The act operates in accordance with section “4 g” of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation number 354 dated 05/06/11.
The document came into force on September 1, 2012 and has since stated:
- Criteria for presence and absence technical feasibility installation of metering devices, including common ones, listed in the first appendix.
- Description of the act of studying the structure, determining the possibility of installing meters that calculate fees for the use of energy and water resources according to the rules specified in the second appendix.
- The principles for completing the previous document are listed in the third appendix.
First application
Factors of the presence or absence of the technical possibility of installing metering devices are determined for devices that count the consumption of water, light, gas and other substances. They determine the amount that the end user spends for life. The purpose of placement is to enable the production and/or sales company to issue an invoice for the relevant service.
Impossibility criteria
Before installation, an inspection is carried out to allow or prohibit the process. Installation of one or more types is impossible if any of the following factors are identified:
- Major repairs, including replacement or installation, have not been carried out for a long time engineering systems, responsible for the supply of water, electricity, heat or gas to residential premises. For old buildings that lack the necessary piping, reconstruction is carried out. During the renovation, new engineering systems are created.
- An inspection of the structure showed that installation is not allowed, since it is impossible to comply with all metrological conditions for the installation of the device and/or its location. The ban applies if the technical requirements to the installation procedure for this meter. In such cases, it is necessary to ensure compliance with the relevant rules and resolve problems.
- At the point intended for placement, the rules of uniformity of measurements cannot be ensured. The legislation specifies a technical solution to the problem, including if it is related to problems in the building structure or engineering systems. The document also names the operating conditions of the devices and characterizes the features that ensure stable work. The latter include indicators of temperature and humidity, possible electromagnetic and water interference. Engineering Communication should allow citizens to easily take readings and, if necessary, maintain and replace individual or common meters.
If the survey shows that the building has a different than horizontal layout of the space heating system, it is prohibited to place heat energy metering devices for it. This fact does not apply multi-storey buildings, indicated in paragraph 5.
Installation permission
If the survey shows the absence of the prohibitions listed above, the installation of metering devices is allowed. The technical possibility of installing a meter applies to any multi-apartment buildings, except those mentioned in the fifth paragraph. 
Installation of resource consumption metering devices is allowed for multi-storey buildings, described in Federal Law No. 261 of November 23, 2009. The document establishes requirements for buildings to equip them with metering devices at the time of commissioning. Also applies to the following articles corresponding to acts of legislation of the Russian Federation: 5711; 2291; 4160 and 4206; 4288 and 4291; 4590; 7061; 7344 and 7359; 7447 relevant acts of legislation: 48; 19; 31; 29; thirty; 49; 50; 51.

Can water in a well freeze? No, the water will not freeze, because... both in sandy and artesian well the water is below the freezing point of the soil. Is it possible to install a pipe with a diameter greater than 133 mm in a sandy well of a water supply system (I have a pump for a large pipe)? It does not make sense when installing sand well install a pipe larger diameter, because Sand well productivity is low. The Malysh pump is specially designed for such wells. Can it rust? steel pipe in a water supply well? Slow enough. Since when constructing a well suburban water supply It is sealed, there is no oxygen access into the well and the oxidation process is very slow. What are the pipe diameters for an individual well? What is the productivity of a well with different pipe diameters? Pipe diameters for constructing a water well: 114 - 133 (mm) - well productivity 1 - 3 cubic meters / hour; 127 - 159 (mm) - well productivity 1 - 5 cubic meters ./hour; 168 (mm) - well productivity 3 - 10 cubic meters/hour; REMEMBER! It is necessary that...

Many apartments still do not have meters for the consumption of utility resources, and people pay according to the standard - most often more than they would pay according to the readings of the meter. But there are also those who have nowhere to install the meter simply physically, there is too little space, the design of intra-apartment networks does not allow it, it will be difficult to take readings, the pipes are old. How to legally competently be the first to equip your home with meters, and the second to refuse this? We are discussing the topic with the director of the MBU “Contact Center under the Mayor of Ulyanovsk” Denis Sedov.
— Denis Konstantinovich, what are the criteria for the technical possibility of installing a metering device and what significance do they have for a specific resident of a specific apartment?
— The installation of utility meters is regulated by several regulations. Firstly, this is Law No. 261-FZ of November 23, 2009 “On Energy Saving...”. Secondly, these are the Rules for the provision of public services No. 354 of May 6, 2011. And thirdly, Order No. 627 of December 29, 2011, which is called “On approval of the criteria for the presence (absence) of the technical feasibility of installing individual, common (apartment), collective (common house) metering devices, as well as the form of the inspection report to establish availability (absence) of the technical ability to install such devices and the procedure for filling it out.”
The law introduces the obligation of consumers to install metering devices - both communal and individual. The rules regulate the procedure for accounting for resource consumption, and the Order with this long name determines under what conditions it is possible to install meters and under what conditions it is not possible. But the criteria, I emphasize, were developed not so much to determine the possibility of actually installing the device, but to determine whether the meter can be used when calculating utility bills. Here's a nuance.
- Is this already installed device may be considered unsuitable for calculating payments?
- It turns out this way - based on whether the device itself, its installation location and operating conditions comply with the criteria prescribed in the Order. The first of them can be called absolute: technical specifications for the installation of metering devices a priori exist in houses put into operation after the Law “On Energy Saving...” came into force. This is November 27, 2009. There are features of installing individual heat energy metering devices, which require horizontal wiring in-house engineering systems, whereas in most multi-apartment residential buildings in use today it is vertical. Obviously, there are conditions for instrumentation not only in houses newly built after November 27, 2009, but also those put into operation on this date after major repairs or reconstruction. That is, the legislator actually obliges developers to furnish such houses before they move in, and future residents no longer need to worry about this.
— What about houses built before November 2009?
— For houses put into operation before November 27, 2009, the criteria are established in Appendix 1 to the Order. To conclude that it is not technically possible to install a meter, it is sufficient to identify at least one of the following circumstances:
- installation of a metering device of the appropriate type according to the design characteristics of an apartment building or premises is impossible without reconstruction, major repairs of in-house engineering systems or in-apartment equipment, or without the creation of new systems and equipment;
— when installing a metering device, it is impossible to ensure compliance with the mandatory metrological and technical requirements for the metering device, including the location and procedure for its installation, required in accordance with Russian legislation on ensuring the uniformity of measurements and on technical regulation;
— in the place where the metering device is to be installed, it is impossible to ensure the requirements for the operating conditions of the device that are necessary for its proper functioning. Including due to the technical condition of indoor equipment, humidity, temperature conditions, electromagnetic interference. Or it is impossible to provide access for taking readings, servicing the meter, or replacing it.
If during the survey it is revealed that the above circumstances do not exist, then the technical capabilities for installing the appropriate metering device are available.
— Who conducts this examination?
— According to the Order, the owner of the residential premises may be present during the inspection (and if an application has been submitted for the installation of an individual meter, then his presence is required), a representative of the RSO, a representative of the organization servicing the common property, who will provide, if necessary, access to the boundary of the networks where usually and the device is installed, other persons. However, the presence of government representatives is not mandatory. Based on the results of the inspection, an act is drawn up - its form is given in Appendix No. 2 to the Order, in which a conclusion is made about the availability of technical capabilities for installing the meter or its absence. If one of the survey participants has a special opinion about its results, an entry about it is made in the report. One copy of the act is given to each of those present.
— In whose name is the citizen applying?
— Clause 9 of Article 13 of the Law “On Energy Saving...” the responsibility for installing metering devices, their operation and replacement is assigned to resource supply organizations (RSO), which do not have the right to refuse to enter into an agreement with persons who apply to them, since it is public. The procedure for concluding an agreement and its essential terms were approved by Order of the Ministry of Energy of Russia No. 149 of April 17, 2010. After receiving an application from the customer, RSO must conduct an inspection of the facility in order to verify the technical feasibility of installing the device. If available, RSO sends the customer a signed contract and technical conditions that the customer must fulfill before installing the meter. And if there is no technical possibility, the customer is sent a refusal to conclude a contract. If the owner of the premises did not turn to RSO, but to some other company, then it is not obliged to sign an agreement or draw up an inspection report for the possibility of installing the device, and this point may come up later, when installed counter will be introduced managing organization(performers) into operation. The contractor may discover that the installed meter is not suitable for use when calculating utility fees. It will reveal, in other words, exactly what the criteria for the presence or absence of the technical ability to install metering devices were developed for. And he can draw up an act about this.
— The law also provides for the forced cleaning of houses and apartments. How is it done in this case?
— Yes, the deadlines for the voluntary installation of metering devices of all types, except for thermal ones, have expired, and RSOs must do this forcibly, providing owners with an installment plan for five years in payment for instrumentation work. It also follows from the meaning of the regulatory documents that if for some reason the facility is unsuitable for installing meters, resource specialists must themselves carry out all the work to prepare, say, apartment engineering systems for instrumentation, and then install the metering devices themselves. This can greatly increase the costs of owners for equipping their homes with metering devices. However, it is quite difficult to imagine this working in practice. Rather, the RSO will conclude that it is not technically possible to install the device.
