Technical Assurance of Metering Authorisations

Guidance Note

The Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) requires the Registrant of the Metering System to provide the Technical Assurance Agent (TAA) with access to the Metering System so that it can carry out a TAA Inspection Visit. The Registrant may not necessarily be the Equipment Owner for all or part of the Metering System, where this is the network operator (Distribution or Transmission company), authorisation is required from them (for the TAA) to carry out inspections on the network operator’s assets.

Each network operator has different requirements before they grant authorisation to the individual inspector. Most require completion of some form of Health and Safety training course provided by the network operator, in addition to holding a current first aid certificate. Others provide authorisation based on the condition that a suitably authorised MOA accompanies the inspector on-site.

The table below shows the organisations where the identified TAA Inspector has been provided with the relevant authorisation in order to undertake the necessary work associated with the Technical Assurance of Metering.
