Codes of Practice

Codes of Practice (CoPs) detail the technical requirements for Metering Systems. These versions are not time limited in the same way as other documents. When Metering Equipment is first registered in Settlement, it must comply with the requirements which are set out in the relevant Code of Practice in place at that time.

Code of Practice 1: The Metering of Circuits with a Rated Capacity Exceeding 100MVA for Settlement Purposes

This Code of Practice states the practices that shall be employed, and the facilities that shall be provided for the measurement and recording of the quantities required for Settlement purposes on each circuit where the rated capacity exceeds 100MVA.

It derives force from the Code, and in particular the metering provisions (Section L), to which reference should be made. It should also be read in conjunction with any relevant BSC Procedures.

Code of Practice 2: The Metering of Circuits with a Rated Capacity not exceeding 100 MVA for Settlement Purposes

This Code of Practice defines the minimum requirements for the Metering Equipment
required for the measurement and recording of electricity transfers at Defined Metering Points
where the rated circuit capacity does not exceed 100MVA.

Code of Practice 10: The Metering of Energy via Low Voltage Circuits for Settlement Purposes

This Code of Practice defines the minimum requirements for the metering of energy via low voltage circuits for Settlement purposes. This Code of Practice specifically applies to metering of energy via low voltage circuits for Settlement purposes. Metering Equipment compliant with this Code of Practice can be traded either Half Hourly where the Metering Systems are not 100kW Metering Systems (Measurement Class E, F or G) or Non-Half Hourly.
