Latest update
On 22 February 2023 the Change Board voted to approve this modification under Self-Governance. This modification was implemented as part of the November 2023 SEC Release (Thursday 2 November 2023).
What is the issue?
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) currently has responsibility for receiving and responding to issues raised internally, by the DCC, and by other interested parties with regards the SEC Technical Specifications. Since its inception, several hundred issues have been raised through the Technical Specification Issue Resolution Sub-group (TSIRS). In some cases, these queries have been resolved by providing an explanation of the Specifications, whilst others have resulted in proposed amendments to the Specifications in the form of Issue Resolution Proposals (IRPs) or Change Resolution Proposals (CRPs).
The two IRPs included in this proposal require changes to the Great Britain Companion Specification (GBCS).
What is the solution?
The TSIRS has determined all solutions and has requested these be progressed as a Modification Proposal for implementation into the SEC. Implementation of these IRPs will ensure Devices operate as they are intended. The Data Communications Company (DCC) has performed an initial assessment of these IRPs and consider them to be non-DCC System impacting but will require DCC System testing. They are therefore expected to have DCC costs associated with their implementation.
