CP1202 – Changes to Meter Protocol Test Specification and the inclusion of BSCP601 appendices
Formal title: Changes to Meter Protocol Test Specification and the inclusion of BSCP601 appendices
Current Status
Summary
It was brought to the attention of the ISG that the ‘specification for the Approval and Testing of Metering Equipment Protocol Testing’ document (an appendix to BSCP601 ‘Metering Protocol Approval and Compliance Testing’) does not contain any detailed requirements. The ISG requested that Elexon assess the document and report its findings. Applicants to the BSCP601 processes have no indication of the requirements for protocol approval. CP1202 Attachment A details the redlined solution which includes the addition of a sample test schedule and the addition of an explanation of protocol. Further changes have been made to address areas of duplication and redundancy where the Appendix currently deals with issues relating to compliance testing.
