If you’re the Registrant of a Metering System, you can apply for a Metering Dispensation if (for financial or practical reasons) the associated Metering Equipment is not compliant with the applicable Code of Practice. For more details please see Section L – Metering.

Generic Metering Dispensations may be applied to any item of Metering Equipment. For further information about current Generic Metering Dispensations, please refer to the Statement of Generic Metering Dispensations on the right-hand side of this webpage. BSCP32 – Metering Dispensations defines the interfaces and timescales for Metering Dispensation applications, as well as providing the application forms.

Generic Metering Dispensations

The BSC Panel may, on its own initiative or upon the application of a Party, establish Metering Dispensations from the requirements of any relevant Code of Practice which attach generally to any item of Metering Equipment. Such dispensations are referred to as “Generic Dispensations”.
