CP1417 – Reading validation for smart Meters
Formal title: Reading validation for smart Meters
Current Status
Summary
CP1417 proposes to amend BSCP504 4.1 to place a high-level requirement on Suppliers to check for faults and prevent clock-drift when remotely contacting Meters. BSCP504 4.2 also needs amending to allow the Supplier to carry out pre-validation checks, add remote disablement to the list of valid conditions giving rise to zero Meter Advances; an add an equivalent obligation for Suppliers to act upon error flags from remotely read Meters. A mechanism will also be required for the Supplier to notify the NHHDC of readings from remotely disabled sites, so that zero advances do not fail validation.
