DCP0009

Improvement to Proving Test process - Audit trail

The Proving Test process is currently susceptible to failure/non-completion due to various generic Supplier Agent non-compliances and the current procedures used to administer and support the trading arrangement requirements.

Two Change Proposals (CPs), CP1142 ‘Changes to the Proving Test Process’ and CP1171 ‘Improvements to the Proving Process’ relating to improvements to the Proving Test process have been rejected by the SVG. When the SVG rejected CP1171, it noted that some elements of CP1142 and CP1171 could be beneficial and requested that a working group meeting was held to discuss the beneficial elements of the CPs and decide the best way forward.

At a working group on the 24 January 2007, a review of CP1142 and CP1171 occurred and was attended by Supplier Agent Forum (SAF) members, an SVG representative and the originator of CP1171 from Npower. The group reviewed CP1142 and CP1171 to determine whether any beneficial changes could be made to the proving process.

The group agreed a number of recommendations which are detailed on the DCP0009 form. One of these recommendations is the raising of DCP0009 which intends to implement an audit trail for tracking failed Proving Tests, by amending BSCP502 ‘Half Hourly Data Collection for SVA Metering Systems Registered in SMRS’
