Current consultations

Permitting ATHs to amend certification reports

In December 2017, we made an urgent Code amendment to enable approved test houses (ATHs) to amend certification reports for a metering installation or a metering component. In certain circumstances this would avoid the need to recertify. The urgent Code amendment expires on 12 October 2018. We propose amending the Code so the effect of the urgent amendment would continue past this date.
