MP128A Gas Network Operators SMKI Requirements

Proposer Earl Richards
Lead Analyst SEC Change
Date raised 11/05/2020
StageImplemented
Implementation date 29 June 2023 (June 2023 SEC Release)
Latest update This modification was implemented in the June 2023 SEC Release.

What is the issue?

Once a Gas Network Operator (GNO) Certificate is placed on a Device, it can only be changed by the Network Operator for the given Certificate and only if the GNO is a DCC User. This is particularly relevant where Network Parties have changed organisation, with the incoming organisation unable to update the associated Organisation Certificate.

What is the solution?

The original modification MP128 has been split into two parts. The Proposed Solution to this MP128A ‘Gas Network Operator SMKI Requirements’ is that GNOs must submit a Certificate Revocation Request and replace their Organisation Certificates with Access Control Broker (ACB) Certificates prior to ceasing to be DCC Users.

Who is impacted?

DCC
Gas Network Parties

What SEC documents are affected?

Section L ‘Subscriber Obligations’
Appendix B ‘Organisation Certificate Policy’
