Guidance: In-service testing handbook for gas and electricity meters

Updated: The In-service testing handbook has been updated to version 3.3

The in-service testing (IST) handbook is a culmination of the IST group 1 and 2 report and the IST group 3 report. It is designed to provide stakeholders who are undertaking sample testing with an understanding of the sampling methodology, test processes, assessment methods and final assessment criteria. The handbook includes details of IST test stations that have been approved by the Office for Product Safety and Standards for the in-service testing of gas and electricity meters.

The handbook is a working document and amendments will be made when necessary as the implementation of IST develops over time.

Transparency data: Enforcement undertakings accepted by the Environment Agency

Updated: Updated list of civil sanctions enforcement undertakings accepted by the Environment Agency between 1 February 2018 to 31 May 2018.

The government has allowed the Environment Agency access to powers to apply civil penalties, known as ‘Civil Sanctions’ for certain offences. The majority of civil sanctions applied so far are enforcement undertakings, volunteered under the producer responsibility legislation. The primary purpose of the enforcement undertaking is to allow the offender to restore and remediate any environmental damage they have caused. This is a list of cases which the Environment Agency has accepted a civil sanctions enforcement undertaking (EU) for environmental offences.

For more information, see the guidance on the Environment Agency enforcement, sanctions and offences page.
