CP1224 – The Review of Code of Practice 4
Formal title: The Review of Code of Practice 4
Current Status
Summary
CP1224 was raised by Elexon on 9 November 2007 and details the review process of Code of Practice (CoP) 4 and the suggested changes to the document that have come out of the review process. In 2005 members of the Supplier Agent Forum (SAF) requested a review of CoP4 on the grounds that CoP4 has not been reviewed or changed substantively for over 10 years. Since that time Meter technology and standards technology has advanced sufficiently to warrant a review of their calibration periods. The requirements of the new version of CoP4 will better reflect the current market/environment and provide a more cost effective balance between monitoring Metering System accuracy and the impact inaccuracies may have on Settlement.
