Summary
There is a current discrepancy amongst the existing Codes of Practice (CoPs) with regard to the password requirements for Half Hourly (HH) metering. CP1264 suggests removing the password requirements around case sensitivity, and leaving it to the Meter Manufacturers and Meter Operators as to whether they wish to develop additional security or not.
