Common use of Testing of the Metering Equipment Clause in Contracts

Testing of the Metering Equipment. 6.11.1 The Main Meters and check meters shall be tested for accuracy, with a portable standard meter, certified by a lab accredited with the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories. Such tested Main Meter and check meter shall be sealed by MSEDCL at the cost of the SPV. MSEDCL shall carry out the calibration, periodical testing, sealing and maintenance of meters in the presence of the authorized representative(s) of the SPV and such representative(s) of the SPV shall sign on the results thereof. 6.11.2 The frequency of meter testing shall be annual. All the meters will be tested only at the Delivery Point and MSEDCL shall provide a copy of the test reports to the SPV. 6.11.3 If during testing, both the main and check meter are found within the permissible limit of error i.e. 0.2% (zero point two percent), the energy computation will be as per the Main Meter. If during the test, a Main Meter is found to be within the permissible limits of error but the corresponding check meter is beyond the permissible limit, the energy computation will be as per the Main Meter and the corresponding check meter shall be calibrated immediately. 6.11.4 If during the tests, a Main Meter is found to be beyond permissible limits of error, but the corresponding check meter is found to be within the permissible limits of error, then the energy computation for the month, up to date and time of such test check, shall be in accordance with the check meter. The Main Meter shall be calibrated immediately and the energy for the period thereafter shall be as per the calibrated Main Meter. 6.11.5 If during any of the monthly meter readings, the variation between the Main Meter and the check meter is more than 0.5% (zero point five percent), all the meters shall be re-tested and calibrated immediately by MSEDCL at the cost of the SPV. 6.11.6 It is hereby clarified that at all times during the Term of this PPA, only the reading of the Main Meter shall be considered for the purposes of this PPA, except in rarest conditions, such as maintenance, repairs, testing or discrepancy in meter reading compared to check meters, in which case, the check meter reading may be considered, at the sole discretion of MSEDCL.
