| 30A | An in-home display unit that when installed in relation to an AMI metering installation in residential premises provides information on the total electricity consumption of the residential premises directly to the consumer in respect of whom the installation is undertaken, and— (a) complies with— (i) the ZigBee Smart Energy Profile Specification published by the ZigBee Standards Organization on 1 December 2008; and (ii) the ZigBee Smart Energy Standard version 1.2a published by the ZigBee Standards Organization on 3 December 2014; and (b) when tested by an approved laboratory in accordance with the laboratory test approved for that display unit by the ESC in a determination under regulation 36(6), is demonstrated to— (i) determine electricity consumption information from the sensing apparatus at least every 30 seconds; and (ii) be able to store electricity consumption information from the previous 45 days; and (iii) be able to display the following information to the consumer or to relay to a device that is capable of displaying the following information to the consumer— (A) electricity consumption information from the previous 45 days in intervals no longer than one hour per day of information displayed and one day per week of information displayed; (B) the average total household electric power consumption (in watts) for the displayed period, which must be updated at least every 30 seconds; (C) the total household electricity consumption (in kWh) for the displayed period and the cost of that consumption, which must be updated at least every 30 seconds; and (iv) be able to display the information referred to in subparagraph (iii) to the consumer or relay to a device that is capable of displaying that information to the consumer— (A) in a numerical format; and (B) in a format (other than a numerical format) that allows the consumer to readily distinguish between low and high consumption; and (v) be able to display to the consumer or relay to a device that is capable of displaying to the consumer the tariff (in cost per unit of energy consumed) and the total cost of electricity consumed for the period displayed; and (vi) be able to permanently erase all electricity consumption and tariff information held by the product including all information entered by the consumer; and (vii) have an average electric power consumption of not more than 0·6 watts when operating under normal circumstances; and (c) if battery powered, uses a battery that has a manufacturer's rated lifetime of at least 5 years when operating under normal circumstances. | | 30B | An in-home display unit that, when installed in relation to any sensing apparatus in residential premises, provides information on the total electricity consumption of the residential premises directly to the consumer in respect of whom the installation is undertaken, and— (a) when tested by an approved laboratory in accordance with the laboratory test approved for that display unit by the ESC in a determination under regulation 36(6) for the purposes of this item, is demonstrated to— (i) determine electricity consumption information from the sensing apparatus at least every 30 seconds; and (ii) be able to store electricity consumption information from the previous 45 days; and (iii) be able to display the following information to the consumer or to relay to a device that is capable of displaying the following information to the consumer— (A) electricity consumption information from the previous 45 days in intervals no longer than one hour per day of information displayed and one day per week of information displayed; and (B) the average total household electric power consumption (in watts) for the displayed period, which must be updated at least every 30 seconds; and (C) the total household electricity consumption (in kWh) for the displayed period and the cost of that consumption, which must be updated at least every 30 seconds; and (iv) be able to display the information referred to in subparagraph (iii) to the consumer or relay to a device that is capable of displaying that information to the consumer— (A) in a numerical format; and (B) in a format (other than a numerical format) that allows the consumer to readily distinguish between low and high consumption; and (v) be able to display to the consumer or relay to a device that is capable of displaying to the consumer the tariff (in cost per unit of energy consumed) and the total cost of electricity consumed for the period displayed; and (vi) be able to permanently erase all electric power consumption and tariff information held by the product (including all information entered by the consumer); and (vii) have an average electricity consumption of not more than 0·6 watts when operating under normal circumstances; and (viii) is demonstrated to provide electricity consumption information that is accurate to within 5% of actual electricity consumption; and (b) if battery powered, uses a battery that has a manufacturer's rated lifetime of at least 5 years when operating under normal circumstances; and (c) uses, for its communications with the sensing apparatus and any display device, an encrypted communication protocol that is approved by the ESC in a determination under regulation 36(6) for the purposes of this item. | | 30C | A product that meets the requirements of the Secretary's specifications for this item. |
