Consolidated Metering Code of Practice - the industry code that sets competency standards for personnel installing, maintaining, and removing gas and electricity meters.
CoMCoP (Consolidated Metering Code of Practice) is the industry code that defines the competency requirements for anyone working on gas and electricity metering equipment in Great Britain. It ensures that metering work is carried out safely and to consistent standards.
CoMCoP is administered under the Retail Energy Code (REC) framework and covers both electricity and gas metering activities. It consolidates four previous Codes of Practice into one combined document.
The code establishes competency levels for different metering activities:
Organisations must demonstrate:
Our accreditation services help organisations achieve and maintain CoMCoP compliance:
Whether you're pursuing SIP accreditation or Gas MAM services, we ensure your organisation meets all CoMCoP competency standards.
Electricity Metering Operative accreditation allows organisations to install, replace, repair, and maintain electricity metering equipment under the REC.
Safe Isolation Provider accreditation enables Metering Equipment Managers to legally de-energise and re-energise electricity supplies without DNO appointments.
Meter Asset Managers are responsible for the ownership, installation, maintenance, and data management of gas meters throughout their lifecycle.
The Retail Energy Code governs retail energy market operations in Great Britain, setting rules for suppliers, meter operators, and data exchange.
