Movement of the functional requirements within PSL120 Non Half Hourly Data Collection to BSCP504 Non Half Hourly Data Collection for SVA Metering Systems registered in the SMRS, following the creation of a generic non functional PSL (PSL100) via CP1182

The CSD review highlighted a large amount of duplication between the requirements in the PSLs and the corresponding BSCPs.

A single generic PSL has been created under CP1182 ‘Creation of a generic Party Service Line’ which will contain participants’ non-functional requirements. Following on from CP1182, DCP0023 was raised on 9 November 2007 by Elexon and seeks to move the functional requirements of PSL120 ‘Non Half Hourly Data Collection’ into BSCP504 ‘Non Half Hourly Data Collection for SVA Metering Systems registered in the SMRS’.

The removal of the duplication between PSL120 and BSCP504 will mean that Non Half Hourly Data Collectors will only have to look in one place to find the functional requirements relating to their role, which may be particularly useful to new entrants. This change will also reduce the cost associated with preparing and maintaining numerous and duplicated PSLs.
