November 2025 — Shenzhen Friendcom Technology Co., Ltd., a trusted provider of smart utility solutions, announces that its independently developed ultrasonic water meter has successfully passed rigorous assessments and obtained certification under the European Measuring Instruments Directive (MID).
The Measuring Instruments Directive (MID), currently version 2014/32/EU, is a key European Union regulation designed to harmonize the standards for legal measuring instruments across EU member states. Its purpose is to ensure that devices placed on the European market meet consistent requirements for accuracy, reliability, durability, and legal conformity.
Once a product is certified under MID, it is permitted for sale and use throughout the EU without the need for additional national-level approvals.

Friendcom’s ultrasonic water meter reflects the company’s strong capabilities in energy metering technologies. The product demonstrated professional technical performance that played a decisive role in obtaining MID certification.
The meter range covers DN15 to DN50 and supports very high turndown ratios, reaching R500 for metal pipe designs and R800 for composite materials. Its starting flow is as low as 1 L/h, allowing accurate and stable measurement even at extremely low flow rates. The device also shows strong resistance to water hammer and magnetic interference. It can be configured using pipe materials such as brass and stainless steel and supports both horizontal and vertical installation, including layouts that meet U0/D0 requirements.
In terms of communication technology, the product supports LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, WMBus, and dual-mode wireless modules. It offers functions including flow monitoring, bidirectional measurement, and intelligent alarms. Local data access is available through NFC and infrared interfaces, enabling efficient, digital, and intelligent water management.
