Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Meters (Certification) Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/1566) (“the 1998 Regulations”) to provide for certification of certain meters by type for the purposes of the Electricity Act 1989 (c. 29) by inserting regulation 9A into the 1998 Regulations. The meters that are certified by type are those set out in Schedule 4A, which is inserted into the 1998 Regulations by regulation 8.

Regulation 6 amends regulation 10 of the 1998 Regulations to provide when certification is terminated for meters certified by type.

Regulation 7 inserts regulation 10A into the 1998 Regulations to provide a mechanism for meter examiners to extend the duration of certification of a type of meter by 5 years, if the type of meter is listed in Schedule 4A. Following an application by an authorised supplier, the duration of certification of a type of meter must be extended by a meter examiner if the conditions in sub-paragraphs (a) to (c) of regulation 10A are met. This occurs if the meter examiner is satisfied that the examination and testing of samples by a nominated laboratory shows, to the meter examiner’s satisfaction, that meters of that type can reasonably be expected to operate accurately for a further 5 years. Regulation 10A(4) provides that a type of meter may have the duration of certification extended more than once, provided the conditions in regulation 10A is are met each time.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or business sectors is foreseen. An Explanatory Memorandum is published alongside these Regulations on www.legislation.gov.uk.
