Abstract: A short review of the existing Monte Carlo generators used for luminosity measurements at meson factories and simulating reactions e+e-→hadrons, e+e-→hadrons+photons or e+e-→e+e-+hadrons is presented, and the physical accuracy of the codes with emphasis on QED radiative corrections is discussed.

Key words: Monte Carlo generators, radiative corrections, low energy e+e- scattering
