Key features of the approach to witness testing are:

Phase 1: Assessment

Phase 2: Planning

Phase 3: Test Execution

Phase 4: Collating Evidence

What if an Applicant has already performed some testing prior to commencing the Qualification application or prior to submission of the SAD (particularly section 3)?

How will Elexon ensure that risk is assessed fairly and consistently?

What if an Applicant disagrees with the assessment of risk and the level/extent of witnessing that has been assigned to its application?

What testing can be witnessed?

What happens if the Applicant has identified faults during testing?

What if the Applicant has not completed all aspects of testing before the final review of the completed SAD (including evidence) is scheduled to take place?

What criteria will Elexon use for assessing whether all required functional testing has been completed?
