Implementation date
February 2024 SEC Release (29 February 2024)
Latest update
On 25 October 2023 the Change Board voted to approve this modification under Self-Governance. This modification was implemented in the February 2024 SEC Release (29 February 2024).
What is the issue?
SEC Schedule 11 ‘Technical Specification Applicability Tables’ contains a table titled ‘CHTS and Relevant Versions of GBCS’, including the CHTS v1.1 and the Relevant GBCS 2.1. The End Date for this combination is 30 April 2024 and a Maintenance End Date of 31 May 2024.
These dates in the TSAT provide the final date that these Communications Hubs can be installed and will be maintained. Any stock remaining after this time will not be compliant and will need to be scrapped, incurring a financial and environmental cost.
What is the solution?
The Proposed Solution is to extend the CHTS v1.1 and GBCS v2.1 Installation End Date by 24 months. This would change the End Date from 30 April 2024 to 30 April 2026.
