Smart Metering Implementation Programme: Great Britain Companion Specification version 0.8

The Great Britain Companion Specification (GBCS) describes the detailed requirements for communications between Smart Metering Devices in consumers’ premises, and between Smart Metering Devices and the Data and Communications Company (DCC).

This consultation seeks views on the content of draft GBCS version 0.8, which is intended to form the basis of Systems Integration Testing. It also proposes minor amendments to the Smart Energy Code (SEC) to be made when the GBCS is incorporated in the SEC.
