Furthermore, in the case of an interruptible system, this can also mean the impossibility to perform any measurement, or\n— the change in the measurement result is greater than the critical change value, in which case the measuring system shall permit the retrieval of the measuring result just before the critical change value occurred and cut off the flow.",
