Smart meters

My energy supplier is due to fit smart meters for me next week. They tell me they will be SMETs2, but, being a suspicious so and so, how will I be able to identify them as SMETs2?
Any info much appreciated. Thanks.

Get your energy supplier to email you with written confirmation it will be SMETS 2.

I doubt they have finished the "2" standard, so it can't be

Thank you all for your responses. As I said, they TELL me they will be SMETs2, but when they turn up on the doorstep with the devices, whatever they say, I wouldn't know whether they are SMETs1 or SMETs2. So, I was trying to get info on what physical markings / identifiers / characteristics I should look for on the devices themselves.

This cynicism is born out of an experience some years ago when I bought a piece of IT kit, supposedly latest model, but when I had problems with it and begun investigating, it turned out to be an obsolete model but with a shiny new label stuck over the old one!

Here are two lists of the makes and models of both SMETS2 compliant gas and electric meters and SMETS1 meters which are able to be adopted by the DCC.
Armed with this you will probably know more about the meters than any meter fitter who turns up with his van full of meters

Many thanks Houbara, looks promising. A bit of light reading for later today I think.
