The government has passed several acts that regulate the means and methods of measuring the water supply. Federal Law No. 102 of 26. 06. 2008 - this law governs the provision of uniform measuring instruments. The document specifies the need to check devices for metrology requirements.

The purpose of the act is to protect the rights of citizens, society and the state from the negative impact of incorrect measurements. This document also sets a deadline after which a check must be carried out. During this period, the appliance works unimpeded, taking into account the supply of cold / hot water. It is allowed to install only those meters that are approved by the register of measuring instruments of the State Standard of the Russian Federation.

Federal Law No. 261 of 23. 11. 2009. This law "On energy saving and on increasing energy efficiency and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation" obliges all subscribers of a water utility in apartment buildings to install water meters. To do this, you need to draw up an agreement with the water utility, and 180 days are given for all installation procedures.

Mandatory installation of the meter provides the following advantages:

1. Economical management of resources.
2. The measuring tool allows you to determine possible losses.

Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 354 of 06.05.2011 This document explains the features of payment for the use of water and other services in apartment buildings, as well as the rules for the provision of utilities. The resolution clearly defines the concept of the amount of amounts payable in the presence of a meter, as well as in its absence.

Why check meters without fail

The device for measuring the amount of water supplied is an accurate measuring instrument. The latter, over time, may simply work out and show a false expense, for which you can overpay.

Neither the water utility nor the end client in your person will like this situation. What is the reason for the loss of measurement accuracy and how large is the error, as well as in which direction?

Hot / cold water affects metering devices in different ways. Hot water contains chemical additives that, in tandem with high temperatures, aggressively affect the parts and mechanisms of the measuring instrument. Therefore, checks of such devices should be done more often.

The result of such a check can show complete serviceability, while the failed equipment should be repaired or replaced.

When it is necessary to change water meters

The verification period for the installed meter in the hot water system is 4 years. As for cold water supply, the meters are checked every 6 years. The deadline does not mean that replacement will be required. The water meter must be replaced when a breakdown is detected and the accounting is carried out with errors.

The average service life of the meter is 12 years. From this, one can easily conclude that one copy can last 6 years, and the other - all 18. It is important to note that you need to start the meter verification procedure in advance, and not on the last day of the end of the verification interval. This is best done in one to one and a half months.

If the deadline comes close to the need for verification, the supplier may also notify you by written notice.

How water meters are checked

The check is performed on specialized equipment, but not everyone knows that the same check can be done right on the spot. To carry out the procedure, the subscriber can choose an organization that has the right to perform this kind of work.

Meter replacement procedure:

Free legal advice:

• before starting work, it is imperative to turn off the water with prior approval from the housing office;
• open access to water pipes;
• the condition of the pipes must be satisfactory;
• the apartment should provide for locking nodes for local water shut-off.

The check is performed in several ways:

1. With the removal of the counter.
2. Without removing the counter.

If you use the services of a specialized company, call the plumber around the house to remove the water meter. The removed meter will be taken into operation, a document of withdrawal will be drawn up, which indicates the serial number and brand of the device. Keep the documents on the counter with you - your passport and your passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.

The verification procedure is performed using a calibration device that verifies the readings as accurately as possible. The duration of the check ranges from several hours to several days. Upon receiving the water meter back, you will be given the following documents:

1. Meter installation agreement.
2. Act of work done.
3. Document confirming the commissioning of the water meter.
4. Passport for the cold water meter.
5. Passport for a hot water meter.
6. Equipment certificates.
7. Maintenance contract.

If, after checking, it turns out that the water meter is broken, a replacement will be required. A working device is installed in the same place, all changes are documented. The new water meter can be used until the next check comes.

Checking the water meter on site per year

When selecting a company to check the meter, make sure of its profile specialization and the availability of appropriate permits for such activities. Upon the arrival of specialists, all necessary water meter tests are performed. This approach is the most convenient - you save a lot of time. The company's representatives for checking the equipment independently contact the water utility, which, in turn, remove the need for verification. As a customer, you will receive a document on the date and results of meter testing.

Free legal advice:

This on-site verification approach has its drawbacks. During the test, up to 250 liters of water is passed through the device, for which you will need to pay. If a malfunction is found, you will not be able to repair or readjust the water meter on site - it will still need to be dismantled.

If the check was not completed on time: what to do

If there is an act of checking the water meter, its owner is obliged to monitor so as not to miss the date of the next procedure.

An incorrectly operating meter is considered unusable, and payment according to these indications is impossible. Thus, in such a situation, you will pay for the services of the water utility according to the average rates. In simple words, as if you did not have a meter installed, taking into account the number of people living in the apartment.

These numbers will be much higher than what you paid for if you had a properly working meter.

Free legal advice:

Verification service is paid or not

You have to pay for this kind of checks. The cost varies from 370 rubles. You can pay online without a fee. It is not at all difficult to organize the verification procedure. How to perform the check is up to you.

Summing up, we note that the meters need to be checked every 6 years for cold water supply, once every 4 years for hot water. The procedure is paid, and the maximum cost for the service does not go beyond one thousand rubles. There are only three ways to check:

1. Checking by a water utility with dismantling the water meter.
2. Self-diagnosis on site with the involvement of a specialized organization that has all the permits to carry out such work.
3. Dismantling and inspection by the same specialized company on site, only in a shorter period than diagnostics at the water utility.

The last two methods allow you to quickly complete the procedure, and the company's specialists contact suppliers and notify them of the completed check.

Do not ignore the end of the interval and the need to test the water meter. With this, you can only overpay for the received water supply services at prices that are considered average.

Checking the counter does not mean that it is time to change it, perhaps everything is in order or you need to slightly correct the operation of the device.

Free legal advice:

In case of failure, the water meter must be replaced. As a result, be attentive to measuring devices not only for water, but also for all other services, and you will save a lot of money. All payment is made only for what you used.

After how many years should hot and cold water meters be replaced?

The question of water meters is being heard from apartment owners more and more often. The use of water meters is due to the obvious savings in the process of water consumption. The availability of devices is due to their relatively low cost.

Today, buying water meters is not a big deal. During the purchase, you should check the certification of the water meters, the availability of the device passport, the warranty card from the manufacturer and pay attention to the date of its initial check.

The water meter is represented by a measuring plumbing device, which helps to measure, store and display the water volumes flowing through it. It must without fail be equipped with a protective device (in the form of a seal or a cover), ensuring its dismantling or reconfigurable impossibility. According to the technical regulations, the declared operational life of water meters is about 12 years. However, everyone is interested in the question of when to change the hot and cold water... Water metering devices installed in a residential building and at the entrance to an apartment building are characterized by a periodic check carried out within one month.

Do I need to replace the water meters in the apartment

It is possible to determine whether it is necessary to change the water meters only after checking the device, which consists in identifying deviations in its readings. In the presence of significant errors, a situation arises when water meters are changed or calibrated. To perform the check, an application is submitted to the management organization for dismantling and taking readings. The process can last more than one week, after which the reverse procedure for installation, reading and sealing is performed. Such manipulations are troublesome, so many residents are replacing the old meter with a new one.

Free legal advice:

It is possible to understand whether a meter replacement is needed only after checking it

Most firms offer fast and inexpensive water meter testing. For example, the metering device is replaced with another one that has already been checked, and old company keeps himself.

The cost of the service is several times lower than the installation of a new water meter. However, there are frequent cases when, after a short time after the verification period, the water meters break down. Therefore, after how much to change the water meters, it is necessary to find out in advance, during their installation. The functioning of the devices directly depends on the sewage water, the poor quality of which leads to malfunctions within the normalized time frame. In this case, it will be necessary to install a new meter.

After how many years do you need to change water meters according to the law

To determine how often the meters need to be changed, you can only check their status. The calibration interval of water meters, the readings of which are used for calculations in the field of household and utility services, is 3 years. The law does not set strict deadlines for replacing meters. The water meters should be changed when they are out of order or when the service life has expired. Many people replace the meters after the valid verification deadlines. This is due to the time and money spent on verification activities, comparable to the cost of a new water meter.

Who should install and why

The installation of water meters for both cold and hot water in a residential building should be carried out with the participation of specialized organizations, performers, manufacturers or suppliers at the consumer's expense. When choosing companies that service water meters, it is necessary to be guided by information about their reliability and responsibility due to the presence of licenses, certificates of conformity, certificates of membership in SROs and permits for installation from the water utility. Many companies offer a comprehensive service that includes the sale, installation, registration and replacement of water meters, which is ergonomic.

Free legal advice:

Installation of meters is carried out with the participation of qualified specialists, but self-replacement is also allowed.

After the installation manipulations, the devices can be sealed by the employees of the water utility or the housing office, with their subsequent registration. However, there is a lot of controversy when it comes to who should change the water meters. Repair measures for water meters should be carried out at the executive expense. At the same time, all payments for verification work must be provided by the water utility not to the tenants, but to the organization serving the apartment building. In the event that tenants do not deduct a certain amount for scheduled repair work on apartment meters, then checking the water meters is carried out at their own expense. An unscheduled check of devices is carried out for the individual budget of the residents.

How to replace water meters yourself

First, you need to purchase a quality device that will ensure their long-term operation. For work, you will need a pipe or adjustable wrench. It is not difficult to carry out the procedure for replacing water meters, it does not require certain skills and consists of the following stages:

1. Cutting off the water supply.
2. If the nuts "stick" to the water meter, they must be held with an adjustable or pipe wrench.
3. If it is impossible to unscrew the nuts, they will need to be gas annealed, followed by repackaging of all connections.
4. The nuts are unscrewed counterclockwise, followed by the removal of the old counter.
5. Cleaning the fitting from worn gaskets.
6. Insert new gaskets. The use of silicone or rubber seals is recommended. The use of paranite is impractical due to sticking.
7. Manual tightening of nuts while supporting the meter body.
8. Turning on the water and checking the water meters for leaks. If a leak is found, tighten the nuts.

When performing these manipulations, it will be advisable to clean the coarse filter. Threaded wrapping with fum tape or linen strands is not allowed.

It is imperative to check water meters, in the end it is your money. When choosing water meters, always pay attention to the technical characteristics - manufacturers indicate not only the volume of water consumption, working pressure, but after how much the meter should be changed.

The question of the timing of replacing water meters

Hot and cold water meters allow precise control of water consumption. The metering devices built into the pipes of hot and cold water supply constantly “read” the volumes of water passing through them. But water meters are conventional mechanical or electronic devices.

The constant operation of the elements of the device will sooner or later lead to their wear and tear, a change in the performance of the components can affect the display of water consumption readings, both up and down. In such situations, the inevitable fact becomes the need to replace metering devices.

The procedure for replacing water meters is strictly regulated by law

Replacement of measuring devices: why, legislative regulation

The water meter has a certain effective service life. Hot and cold water meters must be installed in each apartment on the appropriate water supply lines. In most situations, each of us uses water quite often. Over the years, the elements of the device wear out and can cause damage. Any change in the operation of the instrument may cause incorrect data transfer.

Free legal advice:

Each meter manufacturer conducts laboratory tests, according to the results of which the approximate life of the device is established. According to the estimates of most experts, the actual service life of high-quality devices under optimal conditions of use reaches about 15-20 years.

But it should be understood that there are no optimal conditions in our apartments - the presence of impurities and foreign elements in the water, as well as constant pressure drops, accelerate the wear of device elements and reduce the period of effective operation. For this reason, the so-called intertesting period has been established - the period between manufacturing and testing the device's performance. It composes:

• for hot water meters - 4 years;
• for cold water meters - 6 years.

The difference in terms is due to the nature of use - hot water is a more aggressive medium. In addition, do not forget that hot water is expensive, and this circumstance requires more careful control.

Do you need to change water meters according to the law? The main normative act, which lays the foundations for regulating issues related to metering devices, is Federal Law No. 102 of 26.06.2008. The law sets out the key requirements for controlling the use of resources. If a register number is not assigned to the device, it cannot be considered serviceable and cannot be used to control water consumption.

Each water meter has its own register number

Verification or replacement

After the intertesting period, it is required to calibrate the meters. The meter verification procedure involves the determination of the error in the transmission of data on the volumes of water using a high-precision weighing equipment. All actions are carried out in an apartment, without dismantling the equipment and take several tens of minutes.

Free legal advice:

After carrying out the verification procedure, a specialist of an organization that has the appropriate accreditation fills out an act and makes the appropriate entries in the instrument passports about the verification.

If the authorized water meter is in good working order, it will work until the end of the next verification period. After the next period, verification will also be carried out, and so on. That is, the meter does not need to be changed after the expiration of the calibration period; it must be replaced only in the event of a malfunction. In practice, a high-quality meter can work for two verification periods without any problems.

If we consider the question of how much more profitable is the verification or replacement of water meters, then the first option looks more attractive in all respects:

• no need to dismantle the device;
• the cost of verification is lower than the price for buying a new meter and installing it.

Procedure for replacing water meters

When should you change the meter? Replacement is required in the following cases:

1. The device is defective.
2. During the verification, critical deviations in the transmitted readings were identified, requiring replacement or repair of the device.

The malfunction of the water meter is determined by the following criteria:

Free legal advice:

• a sharp change in the readings of monthly water consumption, which has no objective reasons;
• motion indicator or flow dial does not function.

But only a specialist from an authorized company can officially determine the malfunction. To do this, it is necessary to carry out verification in a timely manner. Do not hesitate to replace if your meter is faulty.

If you do not change it in time, sooner or later the supervisory authority will identify the malfunction and calculate the consumption according to the general standard until the time when the serviceability can be confirmed. Such recalculation can take several years and result in a significant amount. Better to spend a little money on the purchase and installation of the meter.

Self-installation of the water meter is not rational

1. You still have to notify the management company of the replacement and invite a specialist to check the correctness of the procedures performed, as well as to seal.
2. Installation by a specialist from a management company or a specialized company will allow you to receive guarantees and avoid liability in case of violations or breakdowns.

The rules for replacing the water meter imply the following sequence of actions:

1. Submitting an application to the management company to replace the meter.
2. Coordination of the timing of the arrival of the master.
3. Purchase of the necessary equipment.
4. The master's visit to the apartment, the procedure for replacing the device.
5. Installation of seals and commissioning. The changing master must provide all the necessary documentation.

To facilitate the procedure for replacing and checking metering devices, general requirements are imposed on their installation:

Free legal advice:

1. Counters must be available.
2. The pipes must be kept in good condition.
3. Valve and ball equipment must shut off the water tightly.
4. In a private house, the replacement of meters is carried out on a general basis.

Thus, the replacement of devices should be carried out only in case of malfunctions in its operation. No one can force you to change the metering device, but in case of malfunctioning, payment will be made according to the standards, so it is better to monitor the performance of control devices, check them in a timely manner and change them if necessary.

Water meter installation laws

The government has adopted a number of legislative acts related to measuring instruments and methods.

Federal Law No. 102 dated 26.06.2008.

Federal Law "On ensuring the uniformity of measuring instruments", it defines the need for verification of measuring instruments to the requirements of metrology.

The purpose of the Federal Law is to protect the rights and legitimate interests of citizens, society and the state from the negative consequences of unreliable measurement results.

Verification (verification) is a set of activities performed in order to confirm the compliance of metering devices with metrological requirements.

Verification of the device is a check of its serviceability and accuracy using special equipment.

Free legal advice:

The law regulates the period during which the meter can work without hindrance and what intervals are permissible between the checks of the metering devices for the consumption of hot and cold water.

Metering devices are allowed to be installed only those that are included in the State Register of Measuring Instruments of the State Standard of the Russian Federation.

ФЗ No. 261 dated 23.11.2009.

The Federal Law “On Energy Saving and Energy Efficiency Improvement and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation” obliges all water consumers in apartment buildings, in summer cottages, as well as at temporary use facilities to establish water metering devices without fail.

This law approves the need to draw up contracts between the service provider and their consumer, 180 days are allocated by this act to fulfill the requirements.

The law on energy saving defines the obligation to measure the consumption of utility resources.

Free legal advice:

Mandatory installation of metering devices will make it possible to:

1. Increase the ability to save resources;
2. Allows you to determine the loss.

You may be interested in an article on how to save electricity at home, you can read about it here.

Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 354 dated 06.05.2011.

This act clarifies the nuances of the amount of payment for the use of water and other services for residents of apartment buildings and residential buildings, as well as the rules for the provision of utilities.

Here the concept of the size of the board is clearly divided in the presence of a metering device and in its absence.

Why are water meters subject to mandatory verification?

A water meter is a fairly accurate and sensitive device that, after a time has elapsed, may malfunction, that is, show an incorrect water flow.

Free legal advice:

Such indicators are not interesting to either the consumer or the supplier. Why did the readings on the meter cease to be accurate, and how much the instrument data differ from the actual ones, and in which direction?

Hot and cold water has a different effect on metering devices. It is clear that hot water contains chemical additives, therefore, its composition and high temperature are more aggressive in relation to the parts of the meter, and therefore it is necessary to check metering devices on hot water supply pipelines more often.

The check can show that the device is in good working order, and the damaged accounting equipment must be repaired or replaced.

When do you need to change water meters?

The calibration interval for a meter installed in a hot water supply system is 4 years, for a meter installed on a cold water pipe - 6 years.

Cold water meters should be checked no later than after 6 years, and hot water meters after 4 years.

Free legal advice:

Do not think that the period set for verification means replacement of equipment for metering consumption. The water meter needs to be changed only if it does not work or shows incorrect figures for water consumption.

The average service life of the water meter is 12 years, which means that one device can last 6 years until it breaks down, and the other 18 years.

It should be remembered that it is better to attend to the issue of calibrating the water flow meter in advance, 1-1.5 months before the end of the calibration interval.

The service provider company keeps records for each apartment, each house or other object. If the user himself has forgotten that the period between verifications is coming to an end, he will be reminded - they will send a notification.

The procedure for checking water meters

How are water meters checked? Since it is necessary to carry out verification only with the help of special equipment, not everyone knows that verification can be carried out not only in stationary conditions, but also on site.

Free legal advice:

To carry out the work, citizens independently choose an organization that has the necessary permits.

How to replace the water meter?

1. Before starting work, you need to take care of turning off the water, agreeing this with the housing office;
2. Provide access to water supply pipes;
3. The pipes must be in satisfactory condition;
4. Taps (valves, ball valves) must completely shut off the water in the apartment.

The check can be done in several ways:

• With the removal of metering devices
• Without removing metering devices

If the verification will be carried out by a specialized company, then a plumber serving the house should be called to remove the meter. The dismantled device will be put into operation by drawing up an act of seizure, indicating the brand and serial numbers. You need to have a document for a water meter with you - a passport and your passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.

For the verification procedure, special calibration installations are used, which make it possible to verify the correctness of the readings as accurately as possible.

Read the article who is eligible for subsidies for utility bills here.

Having received after some time, from several hours to several days, back their accounting equipment, the consumer will receive the following documents:

A water meter recognized as unsuitable will have to be changed, a serviceable one must be installed in its original place and used until the next check comes.

There are methods in which the removal of meters is not required - verification will be done right on the spot.

It is necessary to make sure that the firm is accredited and that its employees are certified.

How are water meters checked? We invite you to watch the video.

Of course, this verification method is extremely convenient. Representatives of the company will contact the supplier themselves and remove the question of verification. The consumer of the service will receive a paper on the date and results of the procedure performed.

This method also has disadvantages. In order to make an accurate calibration, about 250 liters must pass through the device connected to the tap. water, for which the owner of the apartment will have to pay.

If an error is found on the water meter, you will not be able to repair or correct the device on site. The device will still have to be removed.

What is the threat to the owner of the living space if he did not check on time?

Having in his hands the certificate of verification of the IPU, the owner must make sure not to miss the date of the next check.

An uncalculated water meter, both hot and cold, is considered unusable, which means that it is impossible to pay according to the indications of such a device.

In the future, bills for payment for the use of water will be issued at the average rates, as for users who do not have meters, taking into account the number of residents registered in the apartment.

These norms will force the consumer to spend a significantly larger amount monthly than when the meter readings were taken into account.

Is the verification of the IPU a paid service or not?

Citizens are obliged to carry out verification of the IPU (individual metering devices) at their own expense within the time specified by the manufacturer and indicated in the passport of the meter.

You have to pay for verification. IN different regions the cost is different, but the average figures are from 370 rubles. up to 1000 rubles

If you want to know how to pay for utility bills via the Internet without a commission, we advise you to read the article.

At the same time, it will be useful to note that the cost of work when using a portable standard, that is, on site, without dismantling the water meter, and in the case of removal, are practically equal.

Tracking the verification period and organizing its implementation is not so difficult. A self-respecting home owner will always be interested in ensuring that the equipment in his living space works correctly and is in good working order. You can choose any of the methods for checking water meters.

I was told that after four years it is necessary to replace the water meter with a new one. When installing the meters, four years ago, the housing and communal services employee did not issue any act, but only asked to sign his paper that the work on installing the meter had been completed. What should I do. Buy new meters?

valentine, you were simply divorced, since the acts were not issued. Your counters are not taken into account anywhere. Look in the receipts for payment of the LCD what readings for water consumption will be charged to you.

i didn’t check the IPU on time, then I did it without removing it, the meter was found to be operational, I counted it in 2 months at an increased standard of 22 cubic meters.

Did they do it right or not

I'm also interested ...

I signed an agreement that every year they would come and check the meter. For this I pay 700 rubles. For 4 years now. I have counters for 5 years. They called me and said that the cold water meter should be changed. Why? I am fine. And you have to pay to change. I am disabled of the 2nd group. Ate collected for the supply of these meters. How to be?

The meters must be CHECKED every 6 years for cold water and every 4 years for hot water. This should be notified by the service provider. The cost of VERIFICATION is on average from 400 rubles. up to 1000 p. After verification, the service life is increased by more plaque. Replacement is optional.

Therefore, the service is imposed on you, as well as frequent checks (every six months). Verification is done at will

ON CHECKING COUNTERS: TO BEAT OR NOT TO BEAT

1. The terms of verification of 4 and 5 years were stated in Appendix No. 1, clause 7.9 of the Decree of the Moscow Government No. 77 of 2004.

2. However, the Decree of the Government of Moscow No. 831 dated December 26, 2012, clause 3.1 (Appendix No. 1 in its entirety) decided: “to recognize as invalid”. (Clause 1.2: “Clause 3.1 of the resolution (77th. - VA) shall be declared invalid”.).

3. ФЗ No. 102 dated 26.6.08. Art. 13, clause 7: “Measuring instruments not intended for use in the field of state regulation of ensuring the uniformity of measurements may be verified on a voluntary basis.

4. Federal Law "On ensuring the uniformity of measurements". "A unified list of measurements related to the sphere of state regulation." In this list, there is not a word about utilities, only global government services up to the defense industry.

5. The provision that verification should be carried out only in the field of state. regulation, moreover - only legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, clearly spelled out in the same Federal Law No. 102, Art. 13, item 1.

6. There is a resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation (not to be confused with the state law) No. 354 of 6.5.11. But it has no right to contradict the Law. It does not contradict. In all of its numerous clauses and sub-clauses, nowhere is it said that an individual is obliged to do the verification. Therefore, verification is required only in the field of state. regulation and only legal. persons and ind. entrepreneurs.

7. In the Decision of the Supreme Court of 24.10.12 it is also clarified that only legal entities are obliged to calibrate water meters. persons and ind. entrepreneurs.

8. This issue was dealt with not only by the Moscow Prosecutor's Office, but also by the Prosecutor General's Office. Here is what the 1st deputy writes. Prosecutor General Alexander Buksman: “In the course of an audit carried out earlier by the Moscow Prosecutor's Office, it was established that the Decree of the Moscow Government dated 02.10.04 No. 77 regarding the establishment of the timing of calibration intervals for cold and hot water meters does not comply with the current legislation. In order to eliminate violations of the law ... amendments ... to cancel the previously established deadlines for calibration intervals for water meters. " (See on the Internet the article by Alisa Agrant dated 5.3.16 "Fraudsters and water and electricity meters: how it is done", information publishing house "Regnum".).

9. And finally, the last. The verification of personal individual water meters of individuals under duress (extortion of a lot of money just for the signature that my meter works) contradicts elementary logic. Tell me how often you trust (and, most importantly, how often you pay for it) your own wristwatches, the mechanism of which is much more complex than the mechanism of an individual, personal water meter. Obviously, you both trust and repair watches only when necessary. Let's say if the clock starts to rush or lag behind. The same should be the case with the counter. In any case, this is how the articles of the law, and the decisions of the governments of both Moscow and Russia, and the decisions of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the Moscow Prosecutor's Office, and the General Prosecutor's Office interpret it. Best regards, Vladimir Antonov

PS: I will be glad if you refute it.

Here I am also interested in the question about this stupid law on verification: why should I prove to “someone there” that my meter is working properly? I claim that I have it in good condition and does not need verification. Do you doubt it? Come and check. Why should I pay for this?

01/10/2017 The Moscow City Court dominated the decision of the Lyublinsky District Court of Moscow to refuse me to recalculate the amount of payment for cold water, calculated to me by the Zhilishchnik State Budgetary Institution "Zhilishchnik" according to the general housing (. And not according to the standard, as indicated in the RF Housing Code and in Rules No. 354.) meter due to my failure to verify my apartment cold water meter. And my arguments against the illegality of the requirement to verify an individual water meter to natural person in the housing and communal sphere, they contained far from 9 points, but are set out on 14 pages. Here and the RF Housing Code, and the RF Civil Code on its supremacy in the field of civil law relations (verification is a paid service) and on the prevention of coercion to conclude an agreement, and the RF Code of Civil Procedure on the application of the norm of an act that has the greatest legal force, the Law "On the Protection of Rights consumer ", FKZ No. 2-FKZ" On the Government of the Russian Federation "that government acts should not contradict legislative acts that are higher in the hierarchy, FZ No. 102" On ensuring the uniformity of measurements ", FZ No. 416" On water supply and sanitation ", Federal Law No. 261 "On Energy Saving and Increasing Energy Efficiency", Order of the Ministry of Industry and Trade No. 1815 Procedure for Verifying Measuring Instruments (pursuant to Federal Law No. 102), the Rules for the Provision of Utilities No. 354, ONLY ONLY BASED ON WHICH I WAS REFUSED, referring to pp. " d "clause 81.12 of Rules No. 354, and the Constitution on the limitation of civil rights only by federal laws and only for the specified purposes, and Resolutions of the Plenum of the Armed Forces and the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court No. 6/8, and Definitions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation No. 439-O on a conflict between laws onami and legal hierarchy. So what? She even attached a photocopy of the appeal ruling in another case to the appeal, in which the same Pilgun A.S., the presiding judge, overturned the decision of the Lublin Court indicating that acc. with article 421 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, compulsion to conclude an agreement is not allowed, except in cases where the obligation to conclude an agreement is directly provided for by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, by law or by a voluntarily accepted obligation. So what? Well, nothing! I have not yet received an appeal, and in the decision of the district court there is not a single word of reason for all my references to federal legislation, as if I had not written or said anything about it at all! Only "in accordance with the Rules ... No. 354 ..." And that's it! No federal legislation. We now have the Rules.

Natalia, I would like to know how it all ended with you. I was very glad to read your message.

you need to call from the management company if the meters are working, although the deadlines have passed

all this is a scam. the counter is broken and then change it. and the verification does not need to be done as it (verification), is not taken into account anywhere (verified by personal experience), send these kompashki to hell.

One fine day in my receipts, the count on the hot water meter disappeared, I called the ERC, they say “you need a verification for this meter, how do you do it - bring a verification certificate” ... but you say “not taken into account”!

Yes, and even at a double rate, they take it according to some kind of verification you will not do

in the new building, the water meters were lamented, but they were not used, now it turned out that their term has expired and whether it is necessary to change them if they were not in operation

Hello Please tell me what to do I paid for water on the meter according to the city system and this time I received a bill for 4375 rubles it turns out that I have a debt due to the delay in checking the meter I have been registered with my family 5 people, based on this I counted the same amount without even taking into account the fact that I regularly paid by the counter and I live alone can I call people who have the right to check the meters to check to prove that I paid everything I am a pensioner and for me this amount is very large and is half of my pension and no one warned me that it should be changed, but she just I didn’t know the inspectors had been checked about four years ago

Hot water meters installed in 2011 passed scheduled calibration in 2015. Recognized as serviceable. The next verification should be in 2019. But for half a year I have been bombarded with pieces of paper with the requirement to undergo verification, referring to clause 85 of the rules, approved by the RF PP 354 of 05/06/2011. Is this natural? What is the point of installing meters to save money if every year you will be ripped off a decent amount at a time?

if you don’t live in the apartment, the seals are installed, the readings are not violated, but the verification period has expired, why are they charged at the average standard for water? after all, if no one lives. not logical?

And money? The main thing here is money! They did not supply you with 14 cubic meters of water, which they will write to you in the receipt, but they will take for them. And a month, and two and more. And so with millions of citizens who also do not understand why, if no one lives, or spends only 3 cubic meters of water per month, and a neighbor has 10 people who live and wash, then all the same, everyone should do this verification! If verification was free, then these freaks would not have fought for it! Everything is lobbied! All have meters, and they must be verified. This means - every day the inspector has a whole list of addresses to come. This is how money is earned with the help of the state, on an already impoverished population. Where is the Consumer Protection Society? Why has this issue still not been resolved since December 29, 2012, when the Moscow Prosecutor's Office forced the Moscow government to cancel its Resolution No. 77 indicating the verification timeframe? Today is 2017.

The counters were installed by "specialists" with DEU. A year later, an accident happened - the crane was knocked out. DEU admitted guilt, but refused to pay for the repairs without a court decision. The meter was not used for five years, the apartment was empty. But at the next check, it was rejected. Betar-Gov **? And the main reason is that they are not anti-magnetic (IMHO). The water ran only 6-17 cubes. Now I install all the counters myself. From trust "specialists" - bruises left.

Resisted the installation of meters while there was some opportunity. Now, alas, she is gone. I was informed that I would have to choose between a ten minute (.) Bathing or three or four times the payment, in comparison with the previous one. My financial situation is not happy right now. I will wash and take care of the apartment as I have done my whole life. Long and careful. And, of course, prepare for death from starvation. I am a fragile, lightweight creature, so you won't have to wait long. Thanks to everyone involved in this disgrace for bringing my meeting with my deceased relatives closer.

Wow how cruel

It is better to replace the meters and not believe it from experience I know after checking the meters live for two years and flow and have to be changed to new ones

Zhenya, do not introduce grenade to the masses! Some meters run 2 cubes / month through themselves, others 40 cubes / month! Wear, of course, is different !! If your business is to install meters, then look for fools!….

It's time to cancel the verification of the meters by the resource providers and entrust it to the residents themselves. After all, the state trusts the state to draw up income declarations for millions and billions of rubles to the citizens themselves, and here are penny counters. Spinning means working, no - change it.

The verification is simple, on the small scale of the meter there are 20 divisions or 1 liter of water per turn of the arrow, 5 revolutions is 5 liters, or 100 divisions. 2 divisions is 2% i.e. error, class 2. If you poured 5 liters and fit into 2 divisions in error. This means that the meter is fit for further use. You submit a declaration about it on a receipt for payment for water. This is how it should be done to make life easier for millions of its citizens.

In general, I decided for myself - if the column for filling in the readings disappeared in the receipt for any meter, I call the ERC and when the answer is "the meter verification period is overdue," I order a meter calibration (or a replacement, if they said that it was necessary to change) ... If all the counters are present in the receipt, then I am not worried and live peacefully.

in the subscriber's acceptance certificate for operation, the installation dates and the end date of verification are indicated, these documents are in 2 copies for us and for them, so look at your documents

i got a call from the engineering service: they said that I had to change the hot water meter. I passed the verification. my devices are in working order and show the readings correctly. Every month I pay 100 rubles for the maintenance of the meters, although during this time I have not seen a single inspector. there is a law on the exchange of meters, if they are serviceable

Tell me when does the service life of the meter end from the date of issue or from the date of installation?

The expiration date of the counters is determined by the counter manufacturer (this is stated in the passport for the counter). German and Italian counters have a shelf life, but their cost is high. Russian manufacturers give a more modest period (5-6 years), but the quality is also low, only 80-90% of meters are tested, so the advice is not to bathe with checks, but buy new ones, or buy imported ones.

That's right, why bother, the cost of verification is equal to the cost of an inexpensive meter, we call our plumber and replace the meter, he also seals it, and we don't run with any checks, and time is saved, and nerves)

Natasha, if Pts want to call your plumber, then you're right!)) .... And if in numbers, then no! And where are you going to run ?! You call - a specialist comes with his device! 10 minutes and the act is ready!….

05/02/17 the hot water meter expired. a new one was installed on 05/21/17. in the payment added to 18 cubic meters used on the counter 11.5 cubic meters is it legal?

Good afternoon! We are forced to change the cold water meter. referred to a warranty period of 24 months. Verifications are all done in October 2017.

As ze№;%: whether these pid-sy until October, just send a complaint to the Prosecutor's Office, better to UKashka

In the Federal Law 102 On ensuring the uniformity of measurements

Article 13. Verification of measuring instruments

7. Measuring instruments not intended for use in the field of state regulation of ensuring the uniformity of measurements may be verified on a voluntary basis.

Water meters DO NOT fall into the scope of state regulation of ensuring the uniformity of measurements google "List of measurements related to the sphere of state regulation of ensuring the uniformity of measurements"

Therefore, verification is carried out in a VOLUNTARY order.

By the way, the paragraph on verification has been removed from the Rules for Cold Water Supply and Wastewater Disposal since 2017.

So this is all a scam. Will break down - you will repair and believe or change

From what time does the countdown start for the initial verification of the meter? From the day of operation or

factory release? Thank.

From the date at the factory, the date is indicated in the passport.

Good day! Today they called and said that it is urgent to change the meters of cold and hot water, and today, or they will write out a fine of 9,000 rubles! Although in December last year a woman came with some crusts and made a check, she did not leave the paper (we signed her in the magazine). The meters were installed in December 2013.

And you most often let everyone in your apartment. And most importantly, sign. We live badly because we don't want to bother to improve our literacy. And we are ready, at any instruction, to stand on our hind legs, that is, to kick out everything that anyone demands of us. There is FEDERAL LAW # read it. And demand its fulfillment. They profit from us because we all like to be suckers.

In normal countries where there is no "field of miracles" water meters are installed at their own expense by service sellers, which is natural! And they read their readings on the Internet around the clock! As a result, ONE-decreases more than 10 times! ... ... so what-money no, but you hold on !!

What we are - such is the country. Look above: everyone wants to do a verification. Everyone is too lazy to read what Vladimir Antonov and Mikhail write (I shake their hand and admire them). Natalia is doing a good job. For many years now, various companies have called me to do the verification. I don’t give up yet. Now I'm butting with our Housing. And if there were thousands of us who did not give up and were not indifferent, then these moral monsters would also behave differently with us. And we ourselves give them money on a silver platter. So why should they refuse? I quarreled with my sister over these counters: I tell her not to believe. she secretly did. At what I help her with money, I told her: if you do a second check - I will be offended and will not talk to you. This is an insult to me. People, let's stand up for our rights and respect ourselves.

Regarding the verification of PU water, this is the case when it is easier to “surrender” than to explain why I don’t want to. I also tried for half a year to send all the calling spammers and sent monthly data to the website of state services. This month on the website of state services, the transfer of testimony is blocked with information that the verification period has been missed. I found an accredited company, called the master by phone, and paid 1000 rubles for two devices. Everything, for the next 4 years I can live without problems. Do you propose to fight the system? Is the issue price too high

Tatyana writes: What kind of country we are)) Strange, however, we have a country: Everything is for the people! I don't live in an apartment in my city, that's why a meter is installed. And then, without warning, charges for cold water not according to the counter , but according to the standards. And the debt is 5000 rubles. We find out in the accounting department what is happening? Answer: The management company ordered to charge, since there is no access to the apartment to check the meter, and the statement of absence in Russia is "outdated" - a year has passed. The question is asked: A Who sets the deadlines for such statements? I set the meter for that, that I have been absent from the apartment for years? And the second question: Will they now recalculate what they accrued when providing documents confirming my absence from Russia? And the third question is the same and the answer: after arriving in Russia for a short time, it’s probably easier to install a new meter than to bother with verification ... Lord, well, when will we have "Everything for the people", as in other countries? After all, tell someone that we are counters ourselves set, we are obliged to check and change them for they will laugh at their account. They are already laughing! But I’m not funny, I’m coming to Russia (((

Well, first of all, the article says, check. CHECKING the counter. Well, secondly, this is a real deception. Correctly someone here said, if you doubt the correctness, believe it! Before, specialists came and checked the counters. And now they did the verification at their own expense, without breaking the seals, without removing the meter. the workers of the water utility came and tore off the seal, installed a new one. not only was this “profitable” service imposed on us in order to save our money! It's a paradox.

Yesterday a little man came and checked the counters, I told him what kind of check, the counters are sealed, some stickers are glued to them, new counters 11 months have passed, I didn’t let him in, you can’t imagine how he pounded on my door and shouted the charge you will pay for water according to the standard. Lord, what have you reached, the impudence at home was with a child of 13 years old, the pressure jumped. and I think what if the child is alone?

If it dries up, it becomes a pleasant, golden hue. At this moment, it should be taken out of the oven ... OMG! I'm writing about thermal paste!

From this article, you will learn how often you need to change the thermal paste on the processor or video card. How long does it dry and what is a sign that it is time to start replacing.

How often should the thermal paste be changed?

Answer: depends on the brand of thermal paste. If this is KPT-8 (old but reliable), then you can not think about replacing in the next 4-5 of the yearafter application. Of course, if the computer was not subject to serious overheating, which would “dry” it ahead of time.

Owners of Arctic Cooling MX-3 can forget about replacement for record time in 8 years! After such a period, you must agree, it is more expedient to replace the obsolete part with a new one than to mess with thermal paste.

AlSil-3, like KPT-8, has a service life not exceeding 5 years, then it should be updated.

Thermalright products have a minimum life of 1 (!) Year.

The amount of thermal paste applied also plays a role.

If only a tiny amount of it is applied between the processor and the heatsink sole, then it will dry faster, this is logical. On the other hand, I do not recommend smearing it, like butter on bread. There will be no benefit.

Limiting temperatures are an important factor

If the processor heats up to, say, 60 degrees maximum - that's one thing. But if it works at temperatures bordering a hundred, that's a whole different story. In such conditions, anything will dry out. And it will happen much faster. However, I could not find numerical correlations between temperature and drying, everything was just "by eye".

How long does thermal paste dry?

Perhaps we answered this question above: they play a role:

a) applied volumes

b) temperature

c) product brand.

Finally: do not puzzle over the problem until the computer is noticeable. It will help to determine this.

Over the past few years, Russian legislation has been actively introducing measures that in one way or another force citizens to install water meters. The readings of one such flow meter allow the state to regulate the level of resource consumption, and citizens - to pay only for what they actually consumed, without increasing coefficients and overpayment. Requirements for metering devices, their operation, maintenance, replacement and unscheduled inspections are fixed by federal legislation.

Each owner of a residential building or other real estate object must know what responsibility and for what he bears. As for water metering equipment, one initial installation with sealing and registration is not enough. The water meter is not indefinite, it must be checked and replaced periodically, but here it is important to be aware of when and what to do if a malfunction is detected, so as not to run into fines and other troubles.

There is a specific procedure for each case. In addition, here the legislation does not strictly limit the owners' ability to choose who will reinstall the devices and when.

Differences between metering devices

Since the main task of metering devices is to obtain the most accurate information about the volume of the consumed resource, it is extremely important that they work properly. Any deviation from the norm already indicates the incorrectness of the information provided, which means that the owner, in case of an untimely reaction to such a thing, has the right to oblige by law to pay at tariffs with increasing coefficients. Considering that, as a rule, equipment is installed, on the contrary, in order to save on payment for this utility service, this is a very unpleasant moment. Moreover, tariffs are regularly increased, and the amount of payment is calculated on the number of registered people.

Dear Readers!

Our articles talk about typical ways of solving legal issues, but each case is unique. If you want to know how to solve your particular problem - contact the online consultant form on the right →

It's fast and free! Or call us on the phones (around the clock):

You need to know that absolutely all metering devices are subject to scheduled checks and have a limited service life. The hot water meter is checked more often than the cold water meter. This is due to the fact that the mechanical parts of the equipment in contact with high temperatures, to which chemical additives are added, succumb to aggressive action and become unusable faster, requiring repair or complete replacement. The frequency of their checking, respectively, is less than that of similar equipment that counts the consumption of cold water.

Approved deadlines

Before talking about what time it is really necessary to change the meters, it is necessary to take into account the intervals for checking the water metering devices. For example, equipment for hot water is checked once every four years, for cold water - every six years. If, as a result of the check, no faults were identified or they were eliminated, there is no need to change the water meters. They continue to serve either until the next check, or until the moment when their term of use expires.

It is worth noting that the service life of water metering devices is not the same for all models. On average, they last twelve years, but one model can be designed for only six years, and another for all eighteen. You can find out about the operating time when buying new equipment, as well as looking at the data sheet. It must indicate this period, that is, an indicator of when it is necessary to change this model, if a breakdown or other damage has not occurred earlier.

The owner of the real estate must monitor the expiration of the life. It is necessary to deal with replacement issues not when the device is already unusable, but at least a month before that, or even one and a half. Regarding scheduled inspections every few years, they also cannot be missed, but they are usually reminded of them by written notices that come with receipts for payment.

How to check the equipment?

Regardless of how many years later it is necessary to change the water meters, each of them, as a rule, is subject to a scheduled check at least once. In turn, it is important to remember that both scheduled and unscheduled inspections are carried out on a paid basis, and financial obligations fall directly on the property owner. The amount of this service depends on the region where the facility is located and generally does not exceed a thousand rubles. You can pay for the service through any bank branches or Internet services.

Each owner of real estate has the right to organize an unscheduled inspection of the equipment. To do this, he can choose one of the options:

Where should you go?

Not a single piece of legislation Russian Federation there are no established criteria as to who is engaged in the replacement of water meters. Thus, the owner of the property has a certain freedom in his decisions and actions. He is free to apply not to a government agency, to a water utility or a management company, but to private organizations. These can be service companies that are engaged in similar work and have no problems with the availability of current state licenses for their activities.

In order to replace equipment, you must still obtain the appropriate permission. It indicates the time frame, that is, the time frame for all work to be completed, as well as a list of what is allowed to be done.

What does the owner get when he changes the meter to water:

What can you do yourself?

Government Decree No. 354, paragraph 81, regulates that the obligation to bear all financial costs for the acquisition, inspection, installation and dismantling of water metering equipment is assigned to the owner of real estate. Only tenants under a social tenancy agreement are exempted from this encumbrance, but only if this obligation is not transferred to them by the municipality when concluding the agreement. Before buying new equipment, it is important to check with the water utility which models are needed in a given region. So, for example, in 2017 it is no longer relevant to purchase a meter of the same model that was purchased, for example, ten years ago.

It is forbidden to unauthorizedly rip off the seals on the meter and remove it without notifying the responsible authorities about it. When this becomes known, the offender will have to pay a fine and pay extra for utility bills. Notification of the removal of seals, dismantling and replacement must be submitted in writing, properly, with the registration of the application and obtaining all permits. At the same time, it is important to review the terms of the contract with the water utility, the management company, to make sure who is responsible for such work.

Like any other metering device, a water meter has a certain service life, after which it must either be repaired or replaced. Repair of tachometric water meters, which in the overwhelming majority of cases are installed in apartments, is unprofitable - it is much easier to buy a new one right away. How to determine whether it is worth doing, whether it is necessary to change the water meters every 4 years and what determines the period of its operation - all this is below.

Warranty period, service life of the meter and calibration interval

Many people often confuse the concepts of "service life", "warranty period" and "calibration interval". Therefore, to understand whether it is necessary to change water meters every 4 years, it is necessary to understand the difference between them.

The useful life or service life is the period during which the device can perform its functions. The standard service life is established by the manufacturer. For mechanical devices, it is about 10 years. However, in practice, a water meter can work longer or, on the contrary, fail earlier - it all depends on the operating conditions and the quality of manufacture of a particular instance.

The warranty period is the period during which the identified defects in the operation of the device are eliminated at the expense of the manufacturer. In the case of meters, the device is usually simply replaced with a new one. The warranty period for this is usually 3-5 years.

Calibration interval is the period between two device verifications, that is, procedures that allow you to determine the possibility of its further use. For most tachometer meters, it is 4 years when used to measure the flow of hot water and 6 years for measuring the flow of cold water.

High-quality tachometric water meters may well work for more than 10 years - after all, they are designed for such a service life. If the meter is made of high quality, water does not contain a large number impurities, a coarse filter is installed, the volume of consumption is small, and the tap rarely opens to maximum - this period is far from the limit. Where did the myth come from that you need to change water meters every 4 years?

The fact is that this is the standard calibration interval for hot water meters. This means that after this period, it is necessary to calibrate the meter. Verification can only be carried out by companies that have the appropriate license. Only in this case its results are taken into account by supplying organizations and management companies.

The rest can only replace the old counter with a new one. They are the ones who most often spread the myth that it is easier to do this than to pay for verification, because “the meter will not pass it anyway”. However, very often, thereby allowing the owners to save a substantial amount that would have to be paid for the purchase and installation of a new water meter.

The STEK company is engaged in Moscow and the Moscow region. The installation of water metering devices in the municipal sector is included in the nationwide resource conservation program, and allows users to switch to paying for utilities from unfavorable tariffs to paying only for the actual use of water volumes.

How often do you need to change jobs,so that the movement up the career ladder does not slow down? According to business — trainer CRP "Business Insight" Natalia Nikulova, for a start, you need to find out what a particular specialist understands by the word career.

Natalia Nikulova:

— A career is "vertical", when a person strives upward, occupying more and more high positions. Sometimes striving upward, he can even change his vector of professional activity. And someone builds a career "horizontally", remaining in the same position, but realizing their professional growth, becoming a highly qualified specialist. Thus, depending on personal intentions, everyone decides for himself what his priorities are today, and whether a given company has an opportunity for their development.

The opinion is very popular that work needs to be changed every 3-5 years - they say, this is the only way to avoid creative stagnation and maintain your professional form. I agree with this opinion and Vlada Magnich, hR manager who believes that in the first year of work with know all the subtleties and nuances associated with working in this position. And the next year or two are the most productive in terms of return.

— In my opinion, the effectiveness of building a career is by no means determined by the duration of work at one enterprise, but by the tasks. But 3-5 years is the period for which a person has time to understand the essence of the profession and show the dynamics of real results. This is a tribute to Western trends and worldview. We, recruiters, really appreciate people who have been working at the enterprise for a long time - 3-5-7 years or more. And we know how difficult it is for an employer to “get” such a person. However, if a person for a very long time, the same 7-15 years, has been working in the same enterprise, in the same position, then we assume that career changes may be critical for him, the rigidity factor is high. But if the manager is actively developing and there is evidence of this, then this is just a treasure.

At the same time, the main problem of most Russian - and republican - companies is that many of them themselves do not know in which direction their activities will develop in 3-5 years. It is quite logical that they do not have long-term personnel development programs, companies do not prepare personnel in advance and do not plan the careers of employees, and those, in turn, leave them in search of a better life. So that, is it really enough for a working period of 3-5 years for an effective career today, or is it just a consequence of certain Russian realities, it is up to each employee to judge independently.According to the director of the spacecraft "Leader" Nadezhda Borisova, before deciding to change jobs, you should clearly prioritize.

Nadezhda Borisova, Director ":

— For example, it is more expedient to change the place of work in cases when working in one company for more than 3 years of career growth is not expected, but it is necessary. Moreover, each subsequent position in the new company should be qualitatively higher than the previous one, and the activity itself should not include areas that are too distant from each other (for example, sales - accounting). Then, from the point of view of most employers, a job change will be justified. In general, at American enterprises it is customary to change jobs every 2 years, in general in Europe - every 3-4 years, in our country there is still no consensus.

In other words, hso that frequent changes or a long stay in one place does not negatively affect career growth, it is still worth tracking the validity of your behavior. That is, both transitions and delays should be explained not by the fact that "this is how the chip went down", but by the fact that "it is more reasonable this way."

Nadezhda Borisova:

— Experts call this approach to the issue of changing jobs conscious career management - the so-called practice of career management, that is, planning and managing a career, where the manager knows what position and under what conditions he can count on within a certain period.

According to Vlady Magnich, the period of a successful career for different specialties is different. For example, it takes 3 years for a middle-level manager to have a successful career, for a lawyer - from 5 years in a large diversified enterprise, for an accountant - from 3 to 10 years, for a secretary - from 2 years, for a senior management - from 10 years.

Elena Khapova:

— E if you believe the statistics presented at the conference of the Russian Association of Recruitment Consultants ruhead of the Department of Social Policy of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Mr. Prokopov, then with the average duration of work in the following sectors of the economy is as follows: economics - 3.9 years, ohgovernment agencies - 7.7 years, healthcare - 5.2 years, industry - 3.5 years, trade - 2.8 years, construction - 2.3 years. It is noteworthy that for each industry, the duration of the work is very low.

In the West, frequent job changes are called "job hopping", in our country those who change jobs are often called "flyers". According to the director of the spacecraft "Leader", there are several groups of applicants who are subject to frequent job changes. It:

1. Young people with higher education and very little work experience. Many, due to the fact that they have not decided on their future profession, often change jobs because of the “search for oneself”. It is important for them to try different professions and choose what they will do in the future.
2. Sales managers. In most cases, these are also young specialists with 1-2 years of experience in selling products and services, attracting customers.
3. "Start-up" or "project" - managers, ie, project managers, business development managers who carry out certain projects in the company. This can be the development and launch of a new brand, the development of sales in a new market segment for the company, the modernization and launch of a new production. When moving from company to company, such specialists do not lose, but only increase their status and interest from a potential employer.

In the republic, this theory is reflected in the following facts. According to Natalia Nikulova, professional migration is subject to professions that are related to sales: sales representatives, sales managers, etc. The very specific nature of the activity leaves an imprint on the formation of certain personal characteristics. These people are dynamic, mobile, and are in constant search.

Tatiana Shestoperova, business trainer of the Business Insight Center for Development Program:

— According to statistics, there is a high turnover of personnel for ancillary workers from the low-paid category: loaders, security guards. They are kept only by the amount of work and wages earned. From vacancies middle category sales consultants often change jobs. Top managers rarely look for work, they are worth their weight in gold. Recruitment agencies hunt for their "heads", they always have plenty to choose from when looking for work.

Among the reasons why employees start looking for another job, there are three main ones:

• insufficient level of wages,
• striving for professional and career growth,

Tatiana Shestoperova:

- There are periods when it is necessary to make investments in the future, you give yourself time to master new knowledge, then a not very high salary is possible. There are times when you, knowing the value of your own professionalism, are looking for an offer worthy of your knowledge and experience. Knowing your value in the market and an adequate assessment of your capabilities is worthy of respect and is a criterion of professionalism.

It is interesting, but in the case when the job causes dissatisfaction and discontent, and the feeling that everything is bored does not go away, experts do not advise to change the job immediately. Paradoxical as it may sound, at first it is advised to try to love your work.

Elena Khapova:

— This will provide an opportunity to find internal resources and, possibly, a push to internal, and then external development. Psychologists call this a proactive attitude. We ourselves choose our attitude to work. We deserve the kind of life we \u200b\u200bmake ourselves. This is the most reliable and sure way. Unfortunately, Russians are less and less willing to work and “love” their work.

However, if love cannot be resurrected in any way, it is necessary, without delay, to start looking for a new job.Even if I managed to work only for a year.
