CP1472 – Removal of SVA proving tests for Meters with a pulse multiplier of one
Formal title: Removal of SVA proving tests for Meters with a pulse multiplier of one
Current Status
Summary
The BSC Audit Issue Review Group has been looking at whether proving tests are necessary in all cases. They have proposed that only the following scenarios require proving tests:
• Complex sites
• Where the Outstation can have a pulse multiplier other than 1
• Meters with a separate Outstation.
CP1472 proposes to amend BSCPs 502, 514 and 601 to remove the requirement for proving test for Meters that only have a pulse multiplier of one. It also proposes a new process for the validation of complex sites.
