CP1439 – Proving Test Permissible Software
Formal title: Proving Test Permissible Software
Current Status
Summary
CP1439 proposes to amend BSCP514 to allow the Half Hourly Meter Operator Agent (HHMOA) to also use other BSCP601 ‘Metering Protocol Approval and Compliance Testing’ approved software during the proving test process.
This software undergoes the protocol approval process within BSCP601 to ensure that it acts in the same way as the manufacturer software when dialling Meters and can be tasked with dialling Meters in batches rather than individually. This will allow batches of proving tests to be undertaken more quickly and therefore facilitate the efficient implementation of P272 ‘Mandatory Half Hourly Settlement for Profile Classes 5-8’, which will require significant volumes of Change of Measurement Class (CoMC).
