Most of the water boards in India insist endurance tests and Acceptance tests at FCRI during their bulk purchase as specified in Indian or International standards. This has ensured reasonable life for meters in the field and has yielded substantial increase in revenue for water boards. However,in the case of large size meters, the number of meters procured is low and the expense for conducting the endurance test is relatively high. Hence Water Boards were not in a position to insist endurance test for ensuring the quality of meters. Sometimes lack of time also becomes a major hurdle for conducting endurance tests. In order to overcome the above problems, a model approval program (MAP)is launched by FCRI,based on suggestion from several major water boards. This is intended mainly to help the consumers and Water boards for quick purchase of meters, while ensuring the quality of meters.
