Is this also applicable in scotland?
the meter I have has a 25 year cert - and has to be a bit beyond that.
Hmm.
I vaguely recall it being checked for accuracy 15 years or so ago. I wonder if that may have reset a clock in some manner.

Yes, there are some extra rules regarding some processes for the old Scottish networks but I've never heard of it for recerts. I think the differences are more about transmission, I've never seen a difference in settlement or site interaction/metering from a supplier point of view.

Your supplier knows your recert date as its included in the metet details data flow issued when you switch or if a new meter is fitted. Why not ask?

The meter life sometimes gets updated in Schedule 4 in which case the suppliers Meter Operator makes the update and sends it to the supplier.

Thanks for all your replys and useful info, I am probably just a bit to suspicious for my own good. New meter arriving on Sat.
