2. Exemption

Exemption—AccuCal Limited (“AccuCal”) is exempted from complying with clause 1(1)(a) of Schedule 10.5 of the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010 (“Code”) in respect of providing its initial metering equipment provider (“MEP”) audit by 28 February 2014.

3. Term

This exemption expires at the close of 30 April 2014.

4. Reasons for granting the exemption

The reasons for granting this exemption are:

(a) granting the exemption meets the requirements in section 11(2) of the Act for granting exemptions;

(b) by conducting its initial MEP audit at the same time as its authorised test house audit, AccuCal will avoid compliance costs and will minimise disruption to staff involved in audit reviews;

(c) once the exemption expires, the timing of AccuCal’s next MEP audit will be calculated from the date of the MEP audit completed during the period of the exemption; and

(d) the exemption will have little or no impact on other participants and service providers, and will not affect any other Code provisions.

Dated at Wellington this 9th day of December 2013.
