The Ofgem Meter Asset Managers Registration Scheme

In May 2000 Ofgem published proposals to secure effective competition in the provision of gas metering services within Great Britain (GB).

This led to the establishment of the Review of Gas Metering Arrangements (RGMA) project, the objective of which was to determine industry-wide business processes and supporting data flows to underpin competition in gas metering services, as well as the organisational separation of National Grid Transco's transportation and metering businesses. A key consideration of the RGMA project has been to ensure that any technical and safety issues associated with the move to a competitive gas metering market have been effectively assessed and addressed. As such, a gas industry representative group have developed a Code of Practice for Gas Meter Asset Managers (MAMCoP) which brings together all relevant GB technical documentation and legal requirements covering the complete life cycle of meter installations.

The Scheme

The scheme evaluation process seeks to ensure that the MAM under assessment is fully compliant with all sections of the MAMCoP.

The Ofgem registration process, defined within the MAM Scheme Guidance document which may be accessed at this website location, will enable MAMs to receive accreditation to continue to operate as a MAM. The initial assessment and on-going management of the registration process will be carried out by the Lloyd's Register EMEA.
