Dear all,

SMDA is pleased to report that the first GSME device has been awarded SMDA Full Assurance with no common issues.

This is a major milestone for the Scheme as Full Assurance has now been awarded to all three device types (ESME, GSME & PPMID/IHD) and this is the first device to successfully pass all 300+ SMDA tests.

SMDA testing covers 67% of all SMETS2 requirements, providing confidence to MAPs and Suppliers that a device is compliant with the interoperability and interchangeability requirements.

Furthermore, Manufacturers are advised that all new devices submitted for testing will be automatically tested against the Full Assurance baseline as the Scheme transitions away from Partial Assurance.

Please let us know if you require any assistance with SMDA testing by contacting SMDASO@gemserv.com.

Best Wishes

Kunal Sharma, Head of SMDA Scheme

Dear all,

SMDA would like to advise that the November 2019 SEC Release Baseline for both Full Assurance and Partial Assurance have been updated and are now available on the SMDA website here.

This follows feedback from manufacturers and the SEC Panel that the previous baselines were outdated and contained errors. The Scheme has therefore taken this opportunity to revise the November 2019 SEC Release Baselines to make them clearer and simpler to understand.

The Scheme also recognises that Parties have requested more transparency on the SMDA testing requirements and are working to provide this. The Scheme Operator will be reaching out to device manufacturers to fully understand exactly what they are seeking in order to provide the level of detail being requested.

If you have any comments or feedback regarding the updated Baselines, please contact SMDASO@gemserv.com.

Best Wishes

Kunal Sharma, Head of SMDA Scheme
